What is your ratio?

I'm about 15:1 in favour of the music. Where are you?

The samel. I stole this laptop and illegally download my music off Pirate Bay.

Next!

Aha! So you are the dreaded Samel.

You are banged to rights with that little slip, MF.

I just hit infinity. I used to use CDs but have compared my originals to Spotify and on most recordings I can't tell the difference. And my stereo wasn't cheap. So now I've paid nothing for hundreds of thousands of albums (or £10 / month as I don't want the ads).

That's not infinity, it's zero.

0/x = 0

Impossible to calculate. My vinyl collection includes some stuff that has increased in value, but not a lot. CDs bought from Amazon presumably have no value fluctuations worth speaking of after purchase. As for kit to play it, that's whatever handheld, laptop, or (not at the moment) desktop apparatus I have, from which I can listen to it via headphones or could, if I could be bothered, stream it to loudspeakers. The only additional bit of kit is my USB turntable, for making the definitive copy of the vinyl.

Also, my hearing is ~~pretty~~ seriously crappy these days from too many nights in crowded pubs with noisy bands, so spending money on high fidelity audio reproduction technology would be a waste
