How much gear do you own?

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.

I have the VAC PA 100 100 tube amp & ARC LS15 tube amp that l bought back in 1995 and a Spectron musical MK ll amp I have two sets of speakers,  Maggie's and Mythos ST's Two Ultra 13 subs, Exogal Comet Plus DAC, Oppo BD 105 Blu-ray  Audiolab 6000N streamer For 5.1 Emotiva XMC-2 AV Pre amp  Anthem 5 channel amp  All my interconnects and speaker wires are MIT

according to my wife, I'm done!

Yes I have too much stuff and a lot of it is audio gear.

But as I am a discerning purchaser each and every piece paid me back in spades
with enjoyment.  It is coming to the time I will need to start downsizing.

My music room is coming down the home stretch to completion and that was
~$60k.  Pretty hard to sell that to someone!

I live in an apartment, so I have limited space. I guess that’s a blessing. Otherwise I see myself accumulating a lot more gears. As of now, I have 4 components that are duplicates and ready to get rid of: turntable, phono stage, a streamer, and an old NAD home theater receiver. I’ve just been too lazy to get them listed online.

The problem with this hobby (or any other hobbies) is that it is so easier to go spend the $$ to buy new gears. Many times it is just a few simple clicks on your computer. But it is a lot more work to get rid of your old gears, and that takes a lot of discipline.

I’m curious how many of you out there that live in small spaces with big excess of gears.

How much gear do you own?

alot, as in way too much

really need to pare down

(been saying that for 20 years) 🤣
