As a lifelong audiophile and music lover (aged 70) my system is the best ever, has recently been upgraded in a major way, and will undoubtedly get better in time, as long as I can hear and function. How we age is a factor of how we care for ourselves (diet, exercise, etc) and many live full lives into their late 80's and beyond. Thus, the 'last upgrade' is a completely individualistic issue. An interesting read is "Younger Next Year" by by Chris Crowley and Henry S. Lodge, available in paperback on Amazon. I highly recommend it.
At What Age Does An Audiophile Buy His Last Amp?
.
I am 60 years old. I have bought and sold audio equipment for years while trying out gear to get the perfect blend for my system. At 60, I think I may have one more shot at a major overhaul of my system. Whatever gear I have after this next overhaul is the gear I will ride into the sunset. Geez, I hope I'm not 75 still trying to squeeze that last 3% of sonic excellence out of an equipment upgrade purchase.
I think I'm going to have to draw the line at 65.
