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?

Enough for two systems,with the ability to swap in different amps,or speakers when I feel like a different flavor.

I don’t own so much as a cable. Plans for the new year:

  1. Room Treatments!
  2. Legacy Whisper XDS
  3. Dual Benchmark AHB2
  4. Legacy Wavelet II
  5. Some durned Music Server

Gotta say the music server (research thereof) is the thing which has sucked up as much of my time as everything else combined, and I still haven’t decided. Grumble.
