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
I have a pair of ASW 110's waiting to replace the AZ's. 

Abd im not stressed too much about making a killing off the other components.  Having said that, I'm also not going to let them go to tire kickers, either. I know summer is the off-season for high-end audio sales and at the market might be a buyers market now. So we'll see. 

Components, and components go. And I will rebuild the system eventually.
I agree, @simao , that the Oppo will be very, very hard to replace at a decent price; so I'd keep it; especially if yuo have a nice SADC/HDCD/DVD-A collection.

I don't know how acute your need for capital is; but it seems there is much demand for the VPI. You'd probably get the best ROI from selling it. Too bad since you really like it.
I'm not particularly wedded to any component. I'd be happy tebuilding my system starting with a Well Tempered or a Rega 8 or even another VPI. 

But that HW-19 is exquisite.
