How long do you or should you keep your gear.

I have a pair of Met 7's as my tv sound component. Decided to put them there when my audio budget allowed me to buy different speakers. Could never part with them. 

@elliottbnewcombjr , nice batches of this 'n that...love the 8 track (or does it just hold down that side of the shelf...).  Spouse would freak if I pic'd my feet without socks....no 'off property' in sandals, no...

@oldhvymec , be sure to get the mule with the 40 just for the sake of it. ;)

Bulk here is vintage'...the Behringer stuff is new to newish, space is atrocious at best but I've coping mechanisms in play.

@jerryg123 , thanks for the AR article, which (ho) likely states the status of most here unless seized by 'lectric lust of some sort...*L*

@dekay...If I were you, I'd perch TinyTim on top of your regular system and call it the Alexa remote to any that ask.
If MC can sport a lava lamp, you can tune it to a hiphop station if it still works....

If I can use a 9" tall gold metal mobius loop (found at Target, no less) to support a headphone...;)

Great holidays, all....beware the amateur alcoholics (way too many brew dungeons these days) out 'n about....

If you don't know how to fix or keep it running, until it dies. If you do, then until you can no longer lift it or you really need the money. All of my "vintage" equipment has gone up in value 2 to 4 time the price I paid for it.😁

@tomic601 ...Dawg can roll tubes, but not how you’d like, no doubt....;)

Oh, well....back to the drawing screens....'ciao

’Botted, potted, rollin’ through the gears ’n years...

The conclusion of the piece completely confirmed my suspicion at the start not to read it. D'oh!

How an audiophile deems their system’s sonics and need to replace any part of it is a personal choice. If we choose to do so once every twenty years, every once in a while, or as soon as upgrades are introduced are decisions we all make for ourselves.
