Older And Wiser or just Tighter and Deafer?

I’m 63. I’m not wealthy but I have a tolerant wife and I still love to pursue great sound. But I find myself increasingly reluctant to spend significant amounts on new gear. I know my hearing acuity is not as good as it used to be, but my love of music and good sound is not diminished. When considering a purchase, I find myself factoring in cost versus life expectancy (mine!) and auditory function. I’ll even have some guilt about spending my kid’s inheritance. Is something wrong with me?

On the bright side,  if we are suddenly invaded by otherwise invincible Martians, they wouldn’t even last two minutes these days.

Here's a question:  If Montana had the number of victims of the Communist Chinese Virus as New York City, and if New York City had the number of victims of the Communist Chinese Virus as Montana ... do you think the governor and mayor of New York City would have locked down the entire state?

All diseases start somewhere but only this one was allowed to impact us to this degree because someone was asleep at at the wheel and still feeling drowsy months later  from the sound of it.  Hint:  it’s not Sleepy Joe.
