Interesting dilemma, I also approaching retirement and although I have thought about it from time to time, I suspect neither offspring would be terribly interested. They either stream from their phones to wireless systems they have, or just through the tv. One is in California the other in Amsterdam so shipping would be exorbitant. Had considered maybe the local library for my CD's (gave up records in College) but as far as hardware my guess is one of them will have to sell it off either piece meal or as a system. Would hope someone would want the smaller components, pre, dsd, cd player.
Audio System Donation
About the
time I finish putting together my audio system I will be turning 68. Hope I
have years of enjoyable listening but I won’t live forever. So I began
wondering where to donate both the equipment and my eclectic CD collection in a
‘last will and testament’. No, family members is not an option. Considered a university
common room but these days so many students go the rap and hip hop route. Most
of my music would be wasted on this generation. Retirement communities, I suspect,
would have the opposite issue – too vanilla – with way too few hard blues,
fusion jazz and rock listeners at such a quiet place.
Thought I could open up a discussion here to receive reasonable suggestions. “Give it to me” is not a reasonable idea, and I will simply take down this post if people are that selfish or insensitive on this site.
