Do any of you kids , want your system ???

There was a member here (blcube) who was a good friend of mine. He had a very nice system and a huge vinyl jazz collection. He passed away a few years ago and I offered to help his wife liquidate the system. I was willing to do all the leg work and post all the ads and make sure she got a fair price. At first she seemed appreciative, but later just disappeared. I called her once more and she just didn’t seem interested in doing anything so I left her alone.

To this day I don’t know what happened to his system or his records. I am pretty sure no one in his family wanted any of it. I think it’s best to have a plan with your significant other in case the worst happens and they are left with no clue about what to do.

Nope, to big for their apartment and to heavy to move around. They would rather listen to their iphones.

My daughter MALUCA, a singer songwriter performer (she appears here with Robyn in a video that they wrote together https://youtu.be/xOGFdCWC5ls) has recently asked me for my advice on helping her by an audio system set up for vinyl, but what she wants is nowhere near the quality of my setup. 

I've always thought those Mac ads banging on about 'heirloom quality' big ugly boxes with sharp edges, are selling a delusion.
Like your kids are going to have a suitable home for all those massive boxes. 
Sad truth: your beloved system is destined to become landfill

This is a great thread and very real set of questions, for which I have the following responses bases on what I have done.

(1) First, I think it is important to factor in the kids and where they are in life.  Daughter in graduate school now.  Until she settles down, she will not want to schlep my 15 boxes and crates of audio gear around.  I just don't think they will fit into her Subaru Outback.  But I set the stage for her with a McIntosh RS100.

(2) I wrote into my will what will happen with my audio equipment, music collection and artwork.  Specially, no Habitat for Humanity, Goodwill or Craigslist for this stuff.

(3) I discussed it with my audio dealer already - If I'm gone and you are still in business, please work on selling them on consignment.  I trust they will do it, since they really like my system too and I purchased it from them.

(4) I'm a widower, so no wife to weigh in on what happens.
