I kept my old Kef speakers for the longest time and upgraded everything else. I always try to keep a component for at least six month to see if I like it. Cables are fun to try. Preamps are fun too. Amps are heavy and so are speakers - not fun. Tweaks are a nice treat every once in a while ;-)
How long do you keep a component?
What is the average length of time between your audio purchases or upgrades? Which components do you trade out most often? Amplifiers, Pre amp’s, speakers, front end, cables, or tweaks? For me it seems to be Amps, speakers, cables and tweaks not necessarily in that order.
