Dilemma


Greetings! I am moving to Texas from Florida. I have 2 audio systems, a vintage Sansui AU 771 driven system and my reference McIntosh MA 250 driven. Is there any value, in your opinion, to keeping the vintage system? The vintage system includes a Technics table and Polk SDA's speakers. The Mac drives a pair of Nola Contender 3 and Clearaudio  and Technics tables with an Oppo 105 player. Wojld you keep both? and, are you old enough to have heard my vintage system? Just had to throw that in, no offense meant at all!

Thanks.

you should keep both if each brings you happiness and there is a place for them in your new abode

you won't get any better answers for us, you have the answer yourself...

 Sansui AU 771 ...McIntosh MA 250... Technics table... Polk SDA's speakers. Nola Contender 3 and Clearaudio ... Oppo 105 player. 

Dump the Sansui, 32 watts doesn't get you too far. Keep the Mac250 if it is fresh. The Technics tables would depend on the model, SL-1200 and up, I'd keep. Keep the Polks if they are the large ones and in good shape. Keep the Nola, Clearaudio, and Oppo. So, I guess I didn't get rid of much, but you can thin out the lessor stuff.

Where in Texas are you heading? I made that move, from NY metro to Austin a while ago. Austin is, despite all the shiny tech and money and boom-town vibe, a bit thin on hi-fi. There are a few record stores here and a record show that happens periodically. If another city down here, I may know a few people you can contact once you land. Albert Porter, out of Dallas, is a sweetheart and has a listening group that meets regularly. 

Good luck on your move. Mine went fine but it's still a killer. 

I say you would be happy in either state. Fla has more demanding building codes. You can't even offer a price to do a job, any job without a license or your arrested on the spot.
