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 cycle through gear and sell what I'm not using. I've seen too many episodes of HOARDERS to do otherwise.

But I'm also realistic. I know if I sell my Oktoresearch DAC8 Stereo or Krell amp I'm going to hate myself. Even my wife, who is gear agnostic, advised me to keep the Okto, because she knows how amazing it is and how hard to get.
