How old are you?

76 and just can't seem to shake the habit.  Started out with a Heathkit mono amp and an Isophon speaker in a packing crate.  This hobby has seen me thru some pretty crazy times and I still enjoy it.  Beatles at the Hollywood Bowl, Joan Baez at DAR Constitution Hall, the Limelighters and the Kingston Trio.  I can't remember them all.  It's been a long trip and its always about the music and how real you can make it.  But I have to admit, I sure love the gear.  It's like watches, cars and cameras (whatever they are).

My dad always said he was 39 Plus whatever he needed to get to his actual age . Presently he is 39 plus 55 . I am 32 years behind him.
he also said he was Brad Pitt several hundred thousand times to whomever he meets . His doctor calls him Brad to humor him. He always gave me a hard time about my spend on stereo equipment . Then again he believes ground beef tastes as good as a nice piece of steak..... growing up during  the depression could not have been easy.

67 yeard old

Music addict since I was 14

I used to hear 20Hz to 20kHz, currently 20Hz to 12kHz, but no difference when it comes to enjoy the music.

 

 

So many of us are over 50.  And I’m guessing that a plurality of us are male.  So what about hearing loss.  How has that affected equipment choice?  Bettter gear because you need it, or you can relax because you can’t hear the high-end differences?
