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.

I'm pushing 80 and bought myself a new Van Alstine Sunergy 450 for Xmas. Picked it up at AVA "factory" myself, drives my Maggies great, a good match with the Audio Analogue Bellini pre I got on here.
Now I'm thinking of a new tube pre-hmmmmm .

Hearing is not just a matter of ears, you brain remembers and fills in the gaps.
Hence famous conductors in the 80's and beyond ,who can't hear 5k on an audiology machine, have no problem correcting a violinist playing in his highest register.

What characterizes an open mind at 20 signifies an empty one at 70.
