Time to do house cleaning.

I had been audiophile since 1978.

 

My first serious system was Garrard turntable, Fisher integrated amp and ADS bookself speaker which sounds musical.

 

Since I had moved to Washington state 11 years ago, I had kept everything in the attic.  I have plenty of space in my 5100 sqf house.

 

I had enjoyed pristine treble and nice bass out of Lansche 4.1 which I bought new 2006 for 15 years.

 

I also bought Vaugn Cabernett II as second system.

 

 

But since I had bought Altec A7 and Scaena 3.2, Lansche and Vaugn speakers has not being used.

 

The above is the sound of hybrid system of Altec basshorn and Scaena 3.2

 

Altec basshorn was connected from 290 hz and down and two 18 inch subwoofers are added from 56 hz and down.

 

It give very wide and deep soundstage and unlimited dynamicws.

 

6 weeks ago I got Aurender N30 server which sounds really excellent.

Since then, Jays Audio CDt II transport is not being used any longer.

 

Lansche, Vaugn speakers and Jays Audio transport better find home to be used.

 

But I am too lazy to make any decision yet.

 

Do you thing I had better clean my attic before the end of year or early next year.

 

Your valuable opinions will be apprecicated.

I’ve read it a thousand times: ‘I used to have that ———, but I sold it and I’ve missed it ever since.’

Therefore, having received the wisdom of others who’ve gone before me, I’ve never sold anything.

As far as I’m concerned, it hasn’t gotten out of hand thus far, but a stranger seeing my place would probably say it has.

I say, consider the matter rationally, but also consider that we humans aren’t 100% rational, and that’s OK.

Don’t cut yourself short.

I've been though a lot of equipment in my life, and yes, there are a few pieces I wish I never sold, but then I ask myself, what would I be doing with it? It would probably be collecting dust and taking up room. Plus, the money I made on it helped me buy new equipment. Add to that I can always buy it back if I really miss it/wanted it (and I never have!). So I only keep what I use.

I'd suggest you ask yourself what benefits you the most, keeping it or selling it?

I had a pair of ADS speakers back in the day. A friend called them Screaming Bricks. He was right. Tossed overboard.
