Trouble letting go?


Am I the only one who has gear laying around they're not using because they have trouble letting go of stuff they like? I've got a pair of Energy C6s that are actually holding up my rear speakers. I haven't sold them because I liked them and they were such a good value. I also have an old preamp in my attic (Perreaux, somewhere between 10 and 15 years old). I still have it because it was my first preamp. Am I nuts? Should I just sell them, or does anyone have any recommendations for a cd player and amp that might match these components for a decent secondary small-room system? Ack! Did I just say that? Oh well...

I am in the Same Boat! My spare rooms look like "The Isle of Misfit Toys"! I was running 4 systems up to about 2001, 3-2 channel, & 1-7.1 HT system. I'm now working on a 2 in 1 system, 2 ch & 5 ch HT. However I still have enough spare equipment in a spare room just shy of speaker cables to build 2 more 2ch systems! I myself must detatch myself from some of these items, & learn to let GO!!!

I didn't think it was all that bad till an A'Gon buddy sold of his entire system 2 months ago due to frustration I guess? He just mentioned to me that when he decides to build another system he's just going one stop shopping in "Frank's Audio Warehouse"!

I just 2 weeks ago answered a thread on a Sacd player that I thought I had sold, only to discover later that I still own it!

I'm doing somewhat better, I have been listing a few items for sale lately, but that's only cause I'm also Buying!!!
