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

That's not infinity, it's zero.

0/x = 0

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