Keep equipement or trade?

Now that I have been browsing these forums for awhile and since I have been an audiophile for alongtime so to speak since I am only 19 (i have always loved music and played) I have noticed some trends with people and their equipment.

1. Their are some people that keep their equipment. Not just keep it they keep it forever it gets hard use and they love it. They would never trade up for anything.

2. Those people that trade up all the time for the next best and greatest model. They are always looking for new speakers and what have you.

Now which catagorey do you fit in? Or do you see yourself fitting into one of these. I myself think I fit into the group that likes what they have and keeps it for along time.

For those of you who trade up all the time why are you never satasified with what you have and area always looking for the very best or what is it that fuels the trading up or sideways or whatever?

while i cant deny that its hard to stay in one place for long in this hobby i firmly believe that ive found the place where i want to be with my rig.

ive never been into reviews & the latest & greatest gear,most of my efforts have been concentrated on moving up the ladder within the mcintosh line.

there is always the chance (a good chance) that i will do somthing different with my setup & most likely that will be to explore cables,interconnects & different dac's.

ill never completely stop changing things in my rig & i know that but for the most part im satisfied with the main components in my new rig /amp,cdp's,pre & speakers.

i hope i stay this content with the new rig & i truly believe i will.
