I think ones hearing acuity would be a smarter barometer by which to judge such changes than age. Some seniors are blessed with very good hearing. I wish I was one them!
At What Age Does An Audiophile Buy His Last Amp?
.
I am 60 years old. I have bought and sold audio equipment for years while trying out gear to get the perfect blend for my system. At 60, I think I may have one more shot at a major overhaul of my system. Whatever gear I have after this next overhaul is the gear I will ride into the sunset. Geez, I hope I'm not 75 still trying to squeeze that last 3% of sonic excellence out of an equipment upgrade purchase.
I think I'm going to have to draw the line at 65.
