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?

I've fluctuated between being a one & a two & have been trying to settle down again. Some of my trades have been within the line itself & I'll use my amps for example: Once I settled on the Ayre line I had a V-3 for a year then upgraded to the V-5x for 2 years & have recently acquired a V-1x.

Now I find I do more experimenting with tweaks than anything & am always open for something else. Might not be better but you don't know unless you try.
