all of the above, and not only in audio. depreciation seems fairly constant. I believe technology and parts quality does change, but not a fast as manufacturers want us to believe.
Is the main reason audio equipment depreciates so much is
1.Because technology is always changing and people always want the latest and greatest.
2.It is expensive to repair when it breaks.
3.It has always depreciated a lot since the inception and that is just the pattern it has always stayed in.
4.It is overpriced to begin with.
