I was a 1 for over 25 years! I bought good stuff and kept it that long. Now I gave it all to my two sons and they continue to use it every day. The good old stuff still holds up even by todays standards.
Then I became a 2. I bought all new stuff (big bucks)and now feel the new system sounds far better than the old one. So I'm a happy camper.
Now I have reverted back to a 1 perhaps for another 25 years and that would be just fine.
It's a great hobby and the bottom line is there is no right or wrong approach as long as it works for you. But always remember to listen to the music more than the equipment. The music is what matters most, the equipment is merely a tool to bring it to you.
Good luck.
Hank
