Advice on how to liquidate system

I have nominal hearing loss in one ear and much more significant hearing loss in the other ear.  With the addition of hearing correction (expensive hearing aids), I could hear the music more clearly but it lost most of it's passion / live quality while wearing hearing aids.  And now, since I wear the hearing aids most of the time, it takes about an hour for my ears to adjust to listening to music without them.  But, then the music sounds better.

The best thing for me right now are headphones (Focal Utopia and Burson headphone amp/dac for serious listening and Grado GS1E for connecting to the laptop.

I am sorry to hear about your hearing loss. I am with those in favor of not selling your gear until you have exhausted all the options out there to restore your hearing. If your mind is made up to sell your gear, then reach out to TMR audio in Colorado. 

Wishing you nothing but the best! 

I agree with others on giving it at least a year, as a combination of healing and slight gear modifications (adding an equalizer) may allow you to regain your enjoyment of listening.  

I you end up deciding to sell all or some of your gear, I recommend TMR (The Music Room) in Erie Colorado.  I've sold gear to them twice... one time some large relatively expensive speakers.  They are very professional and make the process easy.

I would say wait awhile too.  I find many songs tell stories and I love those song even when the quality is not great.  Some are old or just not perfect clarity, but listening to the story is still fun.  I also listen to music on many different types of speakers and I still enjoy it - some are poor quality like in the garage or 10 headphones.  I guess what I am saying is that the level of enjoyment is not always matched to the quality of the sound.   

I empathize with your current situation. I had a temporary  loss of hearing in my right ear due to trauma 18 month later my hearing was at 70 to 80%.  Give it time friend.
