What component have you changed out the most?

I'm with Sugarbrie, I have had three pre-amps in the last year. I have been fortunate to have replaced the old with something better each time. It must be some kind of foolish obsession because I still check for pre-amps first even though I really need a new amp. Is there a twelve step program for this?!?

cables
cables
oh - did I mention cables

Cables. probably gone thru 5 sets of cables, at least. as for the rest, I've changed digital front ends, preamp/amp, and speakers three times each so far. So those are about even. I've also gone thru three listening rooms/areas. Three listening chairs too. Three audio racks. Three seems to be my lucky number right now. ;-)

Ask me in about six months, and I'll probably say "tubes." Just got a valve pre and power amp. "All right partner.. You know what time it is.. Keep on rolling.." -Fred Durst. Yeah I'm definitely showing my age. 24.

Power amps, then cables.

I remember back in the mid 80's Digital was the advertised as the perfect sound right. It's interesting how many people converted to digital at that time are now comming back to Analog. The fact that people with digital have changed there front end so much tells how wrong that mid 80's statement is. For me none of the above except cables. I ocasionally change a amp or preamp but classic quality components dont go out of style and some of the best equipment is not necessarly current production although there is some nice stuff out there now. I find that people that change ther system less are the most satisfied and those that change the most are seeking something that most likely will never be found.
