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?

Not really, I have lots of cables - digital optical, digital coaxial, balanced, HDMI and I don't have my tape deck hooked up.

I generally get rid of things I don't use - my exception has been music media (LPs and cassettes, thought I burned the CDs and then sold them to Half Price Books).

Anything I have I 'replace' or 'upgrade' I generally will offer to a friend/family member or donate.

@tablejockey I love your sentiment!

You can't take it with you - but you can make sure it is directed to a good home!
