I buy, sell, and trade gear all of the time. Right now I'm trying to down size once I realized my guest room was just audio gear...
Currently I have 3 systems: my reference sonus faber & macintosh system, my Frankenstein home theater (7.1) of random gear, and another 2.1 setup w/ sonus faber & rotel. Outside of that I have only 4 pairs of speakers sitting in my garage with 2 preamps, 2 amps, 1 avr, and 1 DAC on the shelf.
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?
