Keep equipement or trade?

Now that I have been browsing these forums for awhile and since I have been an audiophile for alongtime so to speak since I am only 19 (i have always loved music and played) I have noticed some trends with people and their equipment.

1. Their are some people that keep their equipment. Not just keep it they keep it forever it gets hard use and they love it. They would never trade up for anything.

2. Those people that trade up all the time for the next best and greatest model. They are always looking for new speakers and what have you.

Now which catagorey do you fit in? Or do you see yourself fitting into one of these. I myself think I fit into the group that likes what they have and keeps it for along time.

For those of you who trade up all the time why are you never satasified with what you have and area always looking for the very best or what is it that fuels the trading up or sideways or whatever?

I guess I'm a 3. I buy some, keep some, sell some, trade some, and build some. The stuff I build usually stays, but that doesn't mean I won't build something similar!

I don't care about the latest & greatest, and don't subscribe to any audio magazine. I do spend a fair amount of time here. I care about quality and value above all, except for the sound, of course. I'm actually quite happy with most of my current kit right now. But that does not mean it's all set in stone.

Now I do like to tweak, tube roll, and play with cables. I still have not sold a set of cables or any of my 200+ tubes, but one of these days....
