OP, there is nothing wrong with what you stated. I personally don't think about equipment resale value when I purchase. My criteria is:
1. Is it better than what I currently own (sound wise) to the extent that it "justifies" purchase/upgrade?
2. Can I afford it?
3. Do I want to upgrade at this time?
I've upgraded many, many times over the years and have never, not once had any trouble selling the replaced equipment. Good quality equipment is just that. There will always be someone just like me that look to the used market to upgrade first. So, me selling my piece means that someone else can "upgrade" their equipment, just like I did.
Some important points have been made here, one that kept getting my attention is hearing loss with age. Sigh!, this really sucks.
So I ask, do any of you have your hearing measured and did you add equalizers to your system to adjust for the hearing loss. Or does adding an equalizer to adjust for your hearing loss make your system sound like crap for other's listening?
Just asking.
