How long do you or should you keep your gear.

@elliottbnewcombjr your gear setups is “goals,” as the kids say🤘

I have my Harmon Kardon 730 which i bought in 1978. My speakers have been with me 20 yrs. But the article talks about advertising pointed at us to make us uncomfortable with last years model. Nothing new at all. The Stones had a major hit in the mid 60's which spoke of the same thing

When I'm watchin' my tv and a man comes on and tell me
How white my shirts can be
But, he can't be a man 'cause he doesn't smoke
The same cigarettes as me

I still have my Pioneer SX-750 that I bought new in 1976

And I have my Marantz 2325 which I bought new in 1976 also.

Some things are keepers

I have a 3rd torn meniscus in my knee from moving my 80 lb McIntosh 2250 amp. Sold the beast to go back to tubes, only 45 lbs. 3 herniated discs, other back problems, Donna and I move it together these days. Took it to VAS to have the internal bias done by Steve.

I designed a self-ventilated unit that allows me to leave my amp (anything up to 125 lbs) in place on top and slide my preamp out from under it, you might like it, shown here
