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

@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.

Great post for the New Year! I have two step sons either side of thirty and they have benefited from my hand-me-downs. Helps me feel better about upgrading to know my older stuff has great homes where it is appreciated. 

I'd rather slit my wrists than hear these twangy beeillheeillies twanging away with ultra low iq lyrics.

 

But in general, the "content" that comes out of Nashville or any other place has my skin crawl.
