I never thought of myself as a collector I just never got rid of anything over the years. I never consciously thought, "Okay I'm gonna acquire gear now." Recently I got interested in repair as a hobby that might either pay a few bucks or land some nice pieces I never would otherwise come across. I took inventory and was shocked to count 42 pieces and 8 pair of speakers acquired over 30 yrs.(all mid to low end stuff). My family thinks it's nutty to have all that equipment but as far as I'm concerned I'm just getting warmed up. I landed a nice 9/10 Pioneer SX 1080 for $400 2 yrs. ago and now I'm hooked on big receivers and I'm gonna have 'em all! First I'm going after the "monsters" and then I'll work my way down the watt ladder. My favourite is a 10/10 Pioneer SX 680 in original box w manual. These days I cruise the net and thrift stores for gear like a shark does the next meal. (I am retired) Collecter? Naaahh just a fan
