A cautionary tale for all of us out here - make a list of your equipment with searchable name (add special model or upgrade info) and price paid and make sure a friend, significant other or executor of your will has a copy so they know what they are dealing with - non-audiophiles, even ones you live with, can have no clue of what you have or what it's worth.
SELLING IT ALL
Hi, all: I am in East Texas. My husband has so much equipment I can’t even spreadsheet it all. He is now in a nursing home with dementia and will not be coming home. I want to sell all the equipment, and am a motivated seller. Some of the brands: Marantz, Bryston, Linn Klout, Linn Kairn, Linn Magic, Linn Keil, Parasound, Theil, Klipsch, Polk Audio, Cambridge, Audio Research. Then lower end stuff like Sony, Yamaha, Onkyo, Teac, etc. Miles of cables/interconnects (Audio Magic, Audio Quest, Toslink, and others -- hard to inventory. Best ones are not on this list because they are behind equipment.) Lots of power wedges. DACs, power conditioners, and misc. other stuff like racks.
it.
it.

My heart goes out to you for your loss. I'm sure your husband must have had a good friend that had similar interests. Contact him/her and see if for the honor of keeping an item to help remember him, maybe he could help you in the liquidation of his system. Maybe some of his friends would like the opportunity to own some of his life's hobby. Regards, Tracy. |
I strongly suggest, as others have, contact his friends and/or ask around for the name of an established stereo equipment dealer who also has experience with audiophile (not BestBuy or other big box store) equipment. For example: there is wonderful salon in Baltimore Md. called Soundscape. I have purchased used and new equipment from them since the 80s. The business is family owned and has been a part of the Baltimore scene since the 1930s. The store can be found, here https://www.soundscapemd.com/ Once at the website, the telephone and email address in included. I suggest you ask to speak with Mr. John Dorsey, family member of the founding business and an excellent resource. Feel free to mention my email address to him stjamesrd@gmail.com |
@troidelover1499 Who's bringing negativity? I am serious. I haven't considered what might happen if I am incapacitated. I don't want my wife dealing with the likes of you or the other sharks circling this post. It's a reasonable consideration given the thread. I would want my system to stay intact and go to a friend that could appreciate it. |
