    Yes. My speakers (B&W CDM1) and CD player (Arcam 8se) are both 2000 vintage.

    The speakers are going to be upgraded soon, but I hope to get a lot more plays out of the CD player.

    I owned NS1000s back in the early '80s for 5 years. Hated selling them but I got more for them than I had paid. Wonderful loudspeakers.

    Just my Sennheiser HD 580 and HD 600 headphones. I've had them about 15 years.
    Everything else from 10+ years ago is either gone or boxed up in permanent storage with no intention to use again.

    Michell Gyrodec about 30 years (upgrades done in the past 10 years) and it was a few years old when I picked it up.
    Elipson 1313 Speakers also about 30 years (did the surrounds on the woofers about 7-8 years ago).
    Have an Audiolab 8000A shuffled into a secondary system that I've had for about 25 years but it was at least 5-6 years old when I picked it up.
    I have an Ortofon MC 20 Super here in use that is about 20 years old but it had a full rebuild last year including new coil, suspension, boron cantilever and microridge stylus.

    A decade is nothing for the good stuff. ;)

    Everything except cartridge is aged. Bought the Sansui receiver in 1977. She is the oldest.

    Only my speakers.

    But I expect both of my amps to get at least 10 years of service, currently <3 years old each. I'd be happy if they went 20+ years!

    Yes. Several pieces have been in my system (or around the house) quite a while; but, ten years goes by pretty quickly.

    I still have a Precept 220 cartridge that I bought in the 80's from Pacific Stereo. I replaced the stylus recently - I need to get it back in rotation.

    I've had my speakers for 10+ years and my TT is 10+ (though I haven't had it that long). Not looking to replace either.
