It wasn't that much relative to the sound quality. You can easily get all of that for less than $3000 total, and if you're decent enough with a soldering iron to build the Akitika kits and cables yourself it would save about $1000. If that sounds like a lot to you, imagine someone offering you a new Ferrari for $20k. It's that level of value compared to what you would get from a real audio company like Audio Note or McIntosh for similar money, and completely destroys anything you'll buy assembled in a box store or on Amazon for 3 or 4 times that much.
I bought all of that stuff save the speakers in the last 6 months. Prior to that I plugged my crappy onboard sound into an old integrated amp I got at a thrift store and connected everything with cheapo Monster cables. Getting rid of those improved the sound so much I would have thought I upgraded a major component.
Since the upgrade I've noticed subliminals being more effective. I can feel the difference in how the sound waves enter my body. Will you get some effect running it through bottom feeder equipment? Yes. Will you get a substantially better return on your investment of time by investing a little money into better audio hardware you can go on to enjoy for the rest of your life? My personal experience says yes.,
