What component to hang on to?


Hello all,

So - the search for a new truck and house infrastructure needs make me consider selling off my main listening system. Having said that, I remain a consummate audiophile who knows I’ll eventually rebuild my system. However, I;’m thinking I should hold onto ONE element in the chain to serve as a building block for my future system. Any advice on what component to hold on to would be appreciated. Or sell all of them?

Components:

Acoustic Zen Adagio speakers (sold)

Hegel 160 integrated

Oppo 105 BDP

VPI HW-19 MK4 turntable with SAMA with Benz Micro Ace SH cartridge and Sumiko FT-3 tonearm

Jolida JD9 Mk 2 phono with Mullard tubes

AZ Tsunami IC’s

Decware Styx cables
128x128simao
Second the tt recommendation, hold onto that setup for sure.

Decent amps, cables and speakers are everywhere at very fair prices
I third that!  Keep the VPI.  If you want to sell it, please get a hold of me.
Another here for the VPI. In todays dollar, a replacement for that table, arm and cartridge would be in the ballpark of about $5000 !
