How much gear do you own?

I am now getting close to seventy. I upgraded before retiring… and was happily able to do my biggest upgrade a couple years ago after retirement. During this cycle I traded in stuff at each purchase. This had the advantage of giving my dealer discounts that would otherwise not been possible. Got rid of the extra turntable, $2K pairs of interconnects (3)… 2 B&W 800 subwoofers, etc. Yeah, it is starting to get to be the time of life to getting rid of all that stuff you will probably not use and clutters your life… and having a system or two that are the very best you have achieved.

I can’t tell you how great it is to sit down each day in front of the very best system I have heard… one that reflects my appreciation of music, one that actually looks amazing. It is really rewarding. One of the things the 75 hour weeks over the last fifty years has earned.

YES on Everything!  When Does it Stop!  then we Never want to part with Anything..

...but ultimately, you will part with All of it....we all get to.

Keep a running list of what you've got worth the trouble to provide a resale estimate for your former family.

At least you can finance your own wake....;)

 

'Bots don't know dead

yet

Most of my excess has has been culled by building dozens of systems for others over the years. It's easy enough. I've got systems spread over 4 states, Canada and Austria. In the end.......it's just stuff. Don't worry, I kept the really good stuff.

I just changed from using separates for 55 years over to an integrated amplifier.

I sold off 5?listening rooms of hi end gear- quad E 57s, Magnapanar, TAD, AR 3, paradigm, Boulder, Dynaco, McIntosh, Peachtree, Belles etc etc

Feel liberated- so happy

i stumbled over a Rotel A14 and was shocked how good it sounds coupled with Elac and Epos speakers and a Cambridge streamer.  The only piece I kept was a Calif Audio Lab Mark Ii CD PLAYER that is terrific!

Im a minimalist! 

And the room sounds good
