Gentleman buyer bought with a bad capacitor and disc reading issues, or you incurred some cost to repair before selling to gentleman?
What's the longest you've held on to a audio component?

Modwright repaired both issues for me luckily...I had the Sony over 2 years. I owned my Dunlavy/Levinson system for 4 years back in the mid "90's, then I got on the continual upgrade/change path just for kicks when the tech money was flowing:O) Recently I've been playing around with more modest gear so I can still send my kids to college. I do love exploring new gear and technology! It's my hobby and my passion, what can I say? It's fun to actually hear alot of the stuff that get's reviewd or doesn't in some cases....opens your ears up a bit to what's going on in the High end and the near High end. So short answer is an average of 2 years with the shortest ever being just over 4 days (that component really pissed me off).

Good to read you put your kids education first and that you had your 5400 repaired before selling. Sorry to sound so suspicious, but some stuff I read on audio forums makes me cringe.
Everything I have ever sold, and Lord knows it was alot, has been 9/10 or higher rating in perfect working order. I sold my last Mega system 2 years ago to a lawyer in New Zealand...with the exchange rate so bad for him, he payed me almost what i payed for it MSRP. It's kinda fun sometimes doin deals around the world:O) My sitting room getaway is a pleasure however, so I'm doin fine!
