Do you think people replace equipment on an annual basis back then?
Are you not aware that a 7 yead old in '54 could well be listening to
the same kit as a 17 year old in '64.....??

Oops, that was poorly worded - I should have said the *same* person could
*still* be listening to the same kit when he was a 17 year old, ie a
listening period of 10 years...

I've had the same amplifier and speakers for 13 years now, and I've no
intention of replacing them in the near future, so what's your point?


Read the thread and work it out (it ain't hard), Molton posted "I wouldnt
pretend I recall the details of many sounds I heard when I was
7" implied to me that when one was no longer 7, the kit was tossed out (and
presumably replaced?), never to be heard again! Didn't happen in 'owr 'ouse
I can tell you - I was probably listening to same radio we had when I was 7,
when I was 20!

Add to that, that even as I type I'm listen to a pair of very nice speakers
dating from 1975, see where I'm going.....???
