During the pandemic lockdown, I was more flipper than a TV dolphin, but before and since, not so much....
Are you a keeper or a flipper?
Do you keep you audio gear for a long time or do you tend to change gear frequently?
I would say I’m a keeper. I’ve owned my Linn turntable 28 years; I’ve owned my Revel speakers and Pass amp/preamp/phono 11 years. I’ve also had my cd player and tuner over 10 years.
Ironically, my newest piece, bought in 2025, is the oldest hifi gear I own- a Thorens TD124; I bought that from the daughter of a friend who passed away. My friend was the original owner. I view my purchase of the Thorens as a special circumstance. The friend that passed had a lot of hifi gear - all of it interesting, but the only piece that drew me in was the Thorens. I knew he used to have a Marantz pre and power amp- tubed- but those were sold years back.

@stereo5 I owned a Denon SACD 1600 a bit ago and thought it was a very nice player and a great value. Reaffirming to hear you say it did not give up too much to a much more expensive cdp. |
