How long do you or should you keep your gear.

New-fangled tech like streaming notwithstanding, I tend to keep my stuff until it breaks. If I like the sound I'm getting, I'll just continue to turn the machines on and let myself fall deeply into the music.

I have a gear I wanna keep forever. I purchased it in 2003.

I have FJ-Cruiser that I want to keep till 1M miles or over.

Until it doesn't do it for me any longer.

Dig the hole extra deep and drop my stuff in first.  Me afterward. DONE.

The headstone should read "He was buried with his GEAR working"

Merry Christmas and happy gift give away..

I’m a hoarder, pure and simple. No logical reason to have as many amps as I do. Or Dacs, speakers, headphones etc.

And aiming to part with more of them in the New Year.

A few pieces I won’t let go.

One being my first pre/power amp, a Plinius that served in my main system for 25 years. Even though there are much better sounding components.
