With all your knowlege you have gained over time,


My grandfather tells me if he had it to do all over again he would have saved more money and invested in real estate and low risk investments. I have followed that advice and have been saving and investing since I was 22.

With all your knowlege you have gained over time, what would you do if...

...you had to sell off all your gear because you needed the money, how would you start over.

...were 25 and starting to catch the audio bug an had the knowlege you have gained along the way.

What would your strategy be and how would you plan ahead. Many threads like these have been written before, but none I have seen have inncluded the thoughts behind the choices of gear or strategy.

Thanks for reading

I'd buy more records and CDs (and keep 'em all this time) and start simple, but buy the best performance I could with my upgrades. Maybe go from a NAD 2600 to a Krell FPB. Point is I spemt a lot of time and money assuming I would be satisfied as I went from a Sansewer (oops!) to a Carver cube to a Hafler DH220 to an Audionics CC3 to Precision Fidelity M8 to a c-j MV75a1, etc. Each time I wanted a better amp! I was much less neurotic about speakers...only have owned four. Funny enough...only one turntable in 27 years! But it was a good one at first! Buy better stuff sooner! Try to reduce overall costs of upgading. Actually I have spent far more on records and CDs than hardware...as it should be! I like 2 hear the music not look at equipment.
