How much gear do you own?

Do you have multiples of amps, preamps, speakers, cables, etc?

I do, and am starting to realize it's leaning hard toward a sickness rather than a passionate hobby.  Either that, or I'm getting up in age and tired of all the "stuff" I've acquired taking up so much space.

I went through a phase about ten years ago where I got tired of stereo gear and dumped most of it.  I really regretted it after a few years and acquired most (and then much more) back.

But this time it feels different somehow.  And I really think it has to do with my age...pushing 60.

Others go through this?

Thoughts?

My strategyl is to maintain a system with minimal footprint. I sold the separates

and moved to an INT. Sold the TT and phono stage. I stream using a

unit that also rips and stores. Now I am buying 2 way standpoint

speakers supplemented by two subs and selling my beloved Tannoy FSMs.

At 200 pounds each they require wheels to get the monoliths into listening

postion. 

If I feel the need to hear a different system I visit a friend.
