We audiophiles as a whole do tend to be a neurotic crowd, don't we? My primary music system has pretty long tenure:

Cartridge - 15 years (if you don't count stylus/body replacements)
Arm - 26
RCM - 25
Table - 12
Preamp - 15
Amps - 10
CDP - 10
Attenuators - 8
Cables - 10-12
Speakers - 6 (previous ones - 23)

The vintage garage system has even older components:

Table/Arm - 35
Cartridge - 25
Amp - 30
Speakers - 34
