How many system makeovers to get to where u r now?

Speakers- 4 prs since 1980.
(And one set of 5.1 HT speakers)

CDPs- 5 since 1990.
(I still have 4 of these, as one is my main cdp, one is my SACD player, albeit very, very rarely used, and one is my cd recorder. The last one (my first cdp) is still in use as my cdp in a bedroom system.)

TT- 4 since 1980.

Tonearms - 5 since 1980

Cartridges - 8 since 1980

Receivers - 2 since 1980
(And one 7.1 HT receiver)

Amps- 4 since 1987

Pre-amps- 3 since 1988
(Plus one phono preamp)

Compared to the rest of the respondents, I can see I hold onto my equipment longer. (Perhaps I should show this thread to my wife! Maybe she'll allow me to make more changes to keep up with the rest of you!)

Speakers, 12 pair about half commercial built, half built by me
Amplifiers, 14 mixed mono's, stereo, receivers
CD players, 9 plus not counted about 3 DAC's
Turntables, 3
Pre-amps, 11, some with built in phono, some with externals…
Different Rooms, about 5 or 6
Cables, forget about it! Many hand made, many that were way too much money!
All this since about 1994
And about 4 systems dabbled in surround sound and combination of surround and stereo so tack on some more crap that adds up that I will not even count at this point!

Ooops- forgot
Phono stages/head-amps- 5

Jaybo- LOL

I too have a long ways to go!
Maybe I should have phrased the post differently, did anyone discover a component that will not get replaced?
