How much gear do you own?

Way, WAY TOO much in the opinion of the general public. In this forum with all its eclectic cohort of forum participants, it’s probably still quite modest.

I heartily “thinned out the herd” already this past summer as I precondition from my wife to further contemplated changes and upgrades.

I still have three 2-channel audio systems in practice ranging from $2,000 to $7,000 to $50,000, along with a full 7.1 high-end HT system with discrete high-end YBA power amps and discrete AV preamp/processor driving ML speakers in my mancave.

the reality: I spend 90+% of my listening time to my “A” system ….ya just can’t beat dem HARBETHs.

"I can’t believe most you guys are such dumbasses..."

Why not?

Most of us certainly believe you are.

Perhaps for Christmas, someone will give you some manners.

Look in your stocking underneath the coal...

In my main listening room which I started about two years ago after sort of being out of audio for 30 years, I generally trade in what ever I am replacing. Not much room for extra stuff. At 72 I tend to shed extra stuff whenever I can. I even traded back a pair of interconnects when I needed longer ones. Currently replacing my power conditioner and will sell the older one as soon as I can. Of course there is my camera equipment but we will not go there.....!

A lot.  Multiple systems.  A lot.

I interpreted your question as, "how much gear do you have that you are not using?"

I have tried to simplify my system(s) over the years by using SS gear that remains powered up all the time (got rid of the tubes) and by weaning myself off of physical media. Currently, I have a couple of duplicates but those are mostly active situations where I recently made a change or where I am in the process of comparing options. Thankfully, I do not have a pile of boxes of gear that I don’t use. I do have some older gear that I haven’t been overly motivated to part with, such as my first NAD system. Somebody interested in vintage systems would probably appreciate that stuff.

Where I find excess is in cables and small boxes. Since I have constructed many cables over the years, I have a couple of plastic tubs full of pretty good cables that I could (and should) probably sell. I also have a number of small boxes (mostly digital enhancement stuff), which is why I remain mostly skeptical about the benefits resulting from small, magic boxes that cost a lot of money.
