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?

I just changed from using separates for 55 years over to an integrated amplifier.

I sold off 5?listening rooms of hi end gear- quad E 57s, Magnapanar, TAD, AR 3, paradigm, Boulder, Dynaco, McIntosh, Peachtree, Belles etc etc

Feel liberated- so happy

i stumbled over a Rotel A14 and was shocked how good it sounds coupled with Elac and Epos speakers and a Cambridge streamer.  The only piece I kept was a Calif Audio Lab Mark Ii CD PLAYER that is terrific!

Im a minimalist! 

And the room sounds good
