how do you even properly break in 5 speaker pairs per year on average??? The logistics of all that equipment swapping makes my head spin. I guess I'm more on a multi-year (every 5 plus years?) cycle.
How Often do you Change Your Gear
mrdecibel - funny...I actually don't change my equipment very often.... quite the opposite.....in the last 20 yrs I had 4 or 5 amps, 5 preamps , maybe 5 different speakers and only 4 different CDPHaha, funny is right! In the last FIFTY years, I have owned (average # per year):
three turntables (0.06)
two tonearms (0.04)
three cartridges (0.06)
two CD players (0.04)
two cassette decks (0.04)
three DACs (0.06)
three preamplifiers (0.06)
five stereo amplifiers, (0.1) and
five pairs of stereo speakers (0.1)
I have also acquired a lot of LPs and CDs because, for me, this hobby really is All About the Music (though I do own more books than my CDs and LPs combined).
How about you?
