Is It Time To Sell My Vinyl Rig?

Hey All,
There once was a time when I looked forward to shopping for arcane mono classical and jazz vinyl. The anticipation of hearing a newly cleaned recording from 1957 that I didn’t realize existed until just a few hours prior. The satisfaction of owning 200 plus records. But now since I’ve upgraded my DAC and Transport, I’ve become disenchanted with vinyl. It still sounds musical but not nearly as close to a live performance as my digital setup. So I’m now I’m thinking about selling my ASR Mini Basis Exclusive MK 2 phono preamp and my modified Thorens TD 145 with AT 33 mono anniversary cartridge. I could put the money towards a surgical procedure that I’ve been putting off. Will I regret this afterwords? I don’t even know how much to ask for the equipment or whether someone would even take an interest in it. Any ideas out there?

It must be a very low priority  condition. I put my physical well being ahead of any audio equipment.

To All,
I need to clarify that the only cartridge being used with this table is the AT mono. I do not own one stereo record nor any type of stereo cartridge. So that is special in some ways but also limiting. A possible alternative is to finish the anatomical sculpture I’ve been working on, get it to my contracted gallery and see if they sell it. But as you might imagine, the chance of this happening is precarious.
I’d rather keep my vinyl equipment than sell it so I still need to do some soul searching on this topic.

In the US, most medical procedures are over $3000.00.

  So let me get this straight, you are saving up for surgery to have your anatomical structure removed to sell on consignment at a gallery?
