Upgrading
Changing out cables is fun and easy so I do it sometimes.  
Your thoughts on selling
Here is the problem as I see it with this whole "hobby"; Unless one dwells with the 1% and can truck in really fine equipment through the years the old used components that I paid top dollar for are worth almost nothing now. At best pennies on the...
