It's hard to let things go; it's good to let things go
Just let a pair of speakers go, and while I really loved them, a local person is going to love them. We enjoyed listening together and I know they'll go to a good home.
My parents used to say that "A good day is a day you get rid of something." I see the point better, now that I'm older.
The "loss" part of it is offset by the feeling of lightness at perhaps trying something else without berating myself for "stockpiling."
What's the best thing you ever got rid of? Was it hard to let go of?
Just posted an ad for my boutique acoustic guitar-- the best guitar I’ve ever owned-- by far. Playing exacerbates chronic neck issues. I have other creative outlets but this feels surreal, after playing for 50 years. I suppose this will be good for my writing and drawing, as they’ll get more attention from here on in.

Although selling equipment on sounds good, it is hard to do in reality - you can reconfigure systems to see what works nest with other components but I have a lot of gear I have owned for a long time and after experimenting I assembled it into three systems in different rooms (plus a very modest solid state set up in the library). Which system to listen to depends on mood and which you haven't listened to in awhile. I can choose tube or solid state, regular speakers or electrostats and which turntable I want to use. |
@wspohn +1. I never sell equipment, just build a new system. I do enjoy giving it away to family and friends though. |
