I particularly enjoying giving gear to my friends adult kids...
Purging, instead of endlessly storing
Hobbies mean collecting/upgrading, which eventually leads to too much stuff. I’m again purging a very good system to a friend so that it no longer sits idle in original boxes. Everyone has their own style. Selling here on A’gon also has merit.
My philosophy; balancing the steep depreciation against someone truly appreciating a fine upgrade. That leads me in this direction. Hope to encourage others by example. Not preaching, as I don’t do missionary work. No virtue signaling, hate that.
They will get Rega CD, Naim DAC 1, Merlin BM monitors, Sound Organization massed stands, Quadrasprie SVT equipment stand, JL Dominion sub, quality cabling. They will start 2026 in that way. Cheers and Happy New Year

I agree @gkelly it seems very tightly controlled and engineered, the boots, the looks, the accent, the topics. I still enjoy folk, Americana, anything "indie". |
@celtic66 the only saving grace about growing up in Wyoming was The band teacher. Mr. Schwab‘s playing of Chicago and making us perfect The Animals, House of the Rising Sun. Definitely played a part in my journey. Let’s not even discuss radio stations. |
@celtic66 That's a great thing to do. My problem is that I have several systems and I'm thinking of downsizing and make a few bucks doing it. I have a good friend that would love to have it and we swap stuff occasionally. I tried to sell some stuff on FB Marketplace but the lowball offers were ridiculous. I figure I'll keep them for now or unless someone gives me a good offer, I'll go from there. I'm not at the point of giving it away (yet)---but it's nice to know it won't end up at Goodwill. |
