I like to try new things but because I try to keep my audio expenditures to a minimum, it's got to be a great deal that makes sense. A lot of times that's a trade rather than simply buying and selling. I like trading because people get creative but also because it cuts down on waiting time for your new gear. All that being said, I'll keep something if I really love it or think that it would be hard to replace. A good example is my Alon Lotus speakers, because I think they're undervalued I got a great price, but that also means I might have to resell at a fairly low price. Combine that with the fact that I really believe the speaker competes with many designs up to $5K and is very easy to drive, and it makes the replacement cost prohibitive. So they're a keeper. So I guess I'm mostly 2 with a bit of 1.
Keep equipement or trade?
Now that I have been browsing these forums for awhile and since I have been an audiophile for alongtime so to speak since I am only 19 (i have always loved music and played) I have noticed some trends with people and their equipment.
1. Their are some people that keep their equipment. Not just keep it they keep it forever it gets hard use and they love it. They would never trade up for anything.
2. Those people that trade up all the time for the next best and greatest model. They are always looking for new speakers and what have you.
Now which catagorey do you fit in? Or do you see yourself fitting into one of these. I myself think I fit into the group that likes what they have and keeps it for along time.
For those of you who trade up all the time why are you never satasified with what you have and area always looking for the very best or what is it that fuels the trading up or sideways or whatever?
