How old are you?

51 (going on 52). Had a great system with refurb DCM time windows and an old Kenwood amp before and during grad school...amp died and had crappy receivers until about age 49, just recently getting a new(ish) serious system together that gets back that original feeling I had with that first system way back when...

Thank you for asking such an honest question that gets everyone together and realizing it’s an ageless love: music and equipment 🙏🏼

just turned 6 decades. lordy i feel old. 

61. These days I have the cash to buy (used) those silver and teak monstrosities I used to gaze up to at the local hi-fi store in my hometown Cheltenham, UK, back in the 70s when I was a near-penniless lad.
What is amazing is some of those monstrosities, for example a Sony TC-8750-2 reel to reel, sell used today for 3x what they cost when new. Times have changed though, so I don't suppose my children will be selling my Yamaha RX-A3080 for 3x its current price in 50 years time!

63. In it since 23
All NAD driving Kefs - still have a 3020 and the Kefs. 

Well, I saw The Velvet Underground live. Twice. And my first equipment was Dynaco. You tell me.
