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.

Well that's a bit revealing, Elizabeth. Why don't you already have them? I sure would and I'm only 56. As Airegin stated, hearing is probably going to be the major factor in answering this question. But I mean in terms of satisfying one's hearing deficit which will most likely include hearing aids, and/or of sorts.

And what are we, chopped liver? The best year to have been born in is 1957 thank you very much. Birth of rock and roll. We grew up together:)

There's a colorful past. Mine's, well..., checkered. That's something isn't it? I am after all a product of the 'Lost' generation. What was your band's name?

Yea. FUN is putting it lightly. But if you didn't attend one of Don Ho's shows you sold yourself short (just kidding). I've never been there. It was probably way better then.
