I'm over 70 and my hearing is either getting better or Ive taught myself how to listen better. I didnt do the concert thing back in the day so maybe thats a contributing factor. Right now Im seriously thinking about going 2 channel versus my Theta surround sound system. My plan is to start with a 2 channel amp
probably an Ayre
and see how my Casablanca III likes it. Arguing with myself about what to do next helps to "keep me young".
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.
