How old is too old?


I'm not having any issues at the moment, but I'm thinking I will have to buy 1 more sacd player before I check out. I almost always buy used. So my question how old is too old? I see some interesting things that I would love to have, but many are 10 to 20+ years old. Thoughts?

From what you said, I think I have hearing similar to yours. I'm 72, almost 73. I drink about 10 cups of coffee a day (always black). That's about a third of what I used to drink. Are you telling me that my coffee habit is causing the white noise that I hear? FM. I sure would hate to give up coffee but if the noise would go away, it might be worth it. 

"before I check out"?

Either you posted this question from your hotel room or the question relates to your own personal "end game".

I know how you feel. Last week, I was discussing whether to buy a new set of golf clubs and I referred to them as my "last set of clubs".

Isn't getting old great. Lol.

 

I’d say by 75 you might as well throw in the towel.

I golf with a guy who is 79. He shot 76 a few weeks ago, and still has plenty of good moving parts. I’d say he is good for a few years yet. 

I am using a 43 year old turntable that I managed to do maintenance on and am not a former tech. It's speed is right on. I am using a 25 year old CD player, purchased used, and only needed to clean the laser pickup. Since I stream music about 90% of the time, I can't imagine spending thousands on comparable, new decks. I recently became a septuagenarian and my moving parts are more compromised than the 20+ year old equipment I am using.
