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.

15 minutes, as the hi end business model call for better to be available right after you purchase it. Among my antiques is a forth year old Kenwood solid state unit that puts some of the current solid state stuff to shame. You figure.
