How many years is a flagship component good for?


.
Is a fifteen year-old preamp that was king-of-the-hill in its day still a good preamp? Does a $15k preamp of fifteen years ago sound as good as a current $5k preamp?

Same questions for speakers, cables and amps.

Digital components surely don't hold up with the rapid and constant advances in digital technology.

odds are a 15K preamp then would be like a 25K preamp now. (both are way too much for any preamp, imho)
