D&D again here. The only new thing I've bought in very long time is another CCA.
All the main kit I have now is either DIY or pieces I already knew I liked and picked up second hand, with exception to my speakers that I bought new and blind (Deaf?), on the back of a previous model I owned before....

I'll qualify that by saying that all the items auditioned in the last five years have all been sold on, and five out of my last six amps were bought blind (two of which are still with me).
