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

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.

I need to do that with my full size headphone system which hasn't been used in years.

I seem to recondition old midfi receivers. I don’t need them. The last a low power Yamaha went to an intern at work. He had speakers and got a budget AT turntable. He said it sounds great.

I don't have audiophile friends. If anybody wants to start the new year with a good deed, I'm happy to receive any old system. smiley
