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?

I see a majority of responses for keeping the vinyl setup. However that doesn’t quite solve the @goofyfoot problem of needing $1K for his surgery.

I wonder if all of us who hope goofyfoot keeps the TT and phono would be open to the idea of raising $1K? I will be happy to make a donation for our fellow audiophile in need of surgery so he can breathe better, enjoy music and live a healthy life.

Hopefully if any one else is open to doing the same to help the OP out, please contact him privately. I suggest OP to open up an account with ‘go fund me.com’.

Have you tried Breathe Right strips (or a generic of such)?

a2d, If you find vinyl so laughable, why are you here at all?  I am not offended by your opinion at all, but why? I don't feel the urge to go on a digital forum and make jokes about RBCD.

Great Idea. Happy to help fellow Audiogoner in need.  Good luck with your surgery.

Sleep Apnea can kill so get a solution that works.

Do I follow this correctly?

Comparing stereo digital to mono analogue, right? 

Interesting comparison.
