don't sell off everything - keep some unused favorites for spares in case of failure or lightning damage. That way you're not shut down while the piece is sent out to the repair shop for __ weeks.
Equipment fetish
After a time of buying equipment, using them and then selling some of them off, I am left with the rig I presently listen to and then some really heavy boxes of equipment, a pair of Class A monoblocks, as well as a 300SET amp, besides of a pair of monitors, one preamp, a phono preamp as well as a turntable. I have diagnosed my condition with equipment hoarding syndrome. My real state has remained the same, as my collection of gear keeps increasing, as well as some credit card bills etc... I would like to hear from Goners who are at this stage or have simply moved on....What was the situation with their equipment and how, if ever, they were able to get rid of extraneuous gear, and how they have felt about it afterwards. What sort of excuses do you contoct in order to justify your keeping of gear that is not being used at present time?

More on fetishes here If nothing else its good for a laugh. We here at the audio comunity have serious problems and should all seek psychological help, what we do is not normal. |
My main problem is amps. At the moment I have in my listening room a Mesa Baron, a pair of Transcendent T8LN monoblocks, 2 David Berning 270's running as monoblocks, and a Wavac 572, as well as older Electrocompaniet AW250 and B & K (I forget the model). Of course, there are also the 3 CD players, 2 (soon to be 3) preamps, enough interconnects and speaker cables for 3 systems..... The only thing that I only have ONE pair of is my Merlins; since I got them I feel very little desire for change. I need to sell some things! |
