Hi Erik,
I don't by any means consider myself to be frugal. But when I consider making a purchase involving what to me seems like a significant amount of money I try to make sure that it will provide me with commensurate value and commensurate enjoyment, over the long-term.
And I make changes to my audio system relatively infrequently, mainly when something comes along that I find particularly exciting. The most recent example of that was a Pass XA25 amplifier, and before that a Herron phono stage, and before that a DEQX HDP-5. An Audio Technica AT-ART9 phono cartridge was in there somewhere as well.
I'll add that experiences reported by Audiogon members were certainly helpful in focusing my attention on those products.
Best regards,
-- Al
