Do you always use your best stuff or do you put the miles on the second favorite and keep the best put away somewhere?

Since I never know what tomorrow might bring I always use the best.
What use is not using something?

I sold my second and third systems once my present system was together. They were all good but I started hearing to many things I didnt like in the others once my present system was together. So yes I use my best stuff.

My best system is my only system, and yes, my A500s were better than the D66s, but now I don't have them

Why use anything less?

I only have one system for Home and One for portable use
What's the point of using second and third best systems?
Once you find the right combo for you, you should rightfully dump the other systems.
They will only collect dust and reduce in value.

I'm like D-EJ915, my only system is my best system.

Since I have three phones (Ety ER4, Senn HD580, and Beyer DT531) that I like about equally and is good for different types of music, I use them interchangeably, so in a way I have more than one "best stuff"...

one more portable, one for home. if i ever upgrade, i'll sell the item it replaces in the chain.

I look at my gear (and only my gear, not borrowed from others) with one point for its time with me, which is to play music and thats it.

for this reason I never ever baby my stuff, If I want to use the ps-1's as portables then they are coming with me. If I want the ps-1 in the jacuzzi then they better get there swimming shorts on cause they are caming with me.

of course the sound advantage of the ps-1 in the jacuzzi is almost non existent, so thats why I prefer the sr-80's just to get that grado sound.
no I have never done the ps-1 in the jacuzzi and probably never will

I base my gear usage purely on which is best suited for the time, not by any kind of ranking system. If I wanna hear what's going on around me, pick up the Grado's; if not, Sony EX51's are good; and if I don't want other people to know I'm listening to music and I wanna hear them at the same time, MX300's are best. No need for ranking the headphones, since they all are #1 in their primary usage.

Argh I almost forgot about that Grado Jacuzzi thing

 

[saint.panda]

I always use my best stuff because I can't afford a second system

 

[md01]

In my case, it's not "the best stuff," but what's most appropriate for the type of music I'm listening to. An excpetion would be a new addition to my collection be it heaphone, amp, etc. In that case, I'll listen to the new gear almost exclusively.

My best stuff is my only stuff. Because I recently bought a new pair of HD 650's I now have an old pair of HD 600's which I am holding on to. I bought new ear pads for them and I just ordered a pair of Senn. woodies as well. It needed new grills and I was curious on how the gear from headphile sounds.
