Two weeks to nine years. I tried more cables than anything 'cause it's the easiest. Next in line are amps, no wait, make that CD players, then amps, then preamps then speakers.
How long do you keep a component?
What is the average length of time between your audio purchases or upgrades? Which components do you trade out most often? Amplifiers, Pre amp’s, speakers, front end, cables, or tweaks? For me it seems to be Amps, speakers, cables and tweaks not necessarily in that order.
