I've had a receiver-based stereo system since I was in college. I bought my first separates at the age of 47 when I was at the apex of my earning power. During my journey, I've certainly discovered the fact of diminishing returns in audio. I also discovered the value of the used audio market where outstanding buys can be found. I've got a couple of more years left in me to buy stuff. Even then it will be an upgrade to a pre-owned item. It's comforting to know that current new outstanding components will still sound astounding in ten years...and they will be available at great prices.
