Selling gear made to be a set
Unless you are in need of cash, I would put the gear in storage just to make sure going purely streaming is your final solution.   I own every piece of gear (including the boxes and manuals) all the way back to my first system in 1977.  I have 5 d... 
Am I defective?
It's not you.  Remember,  the YouTubers get paid by their views and subscribers.  The bigger "act" they put on, their "over the top" actions so to say, gets "clicks" and "upvotes" -- all which earn them more money.   Some reviewers are truly mov... 
So you just took a gummie...What song is on the menu?
I’m so glad there are so many others out there that refused to give up the herb and hash, even when we had to "grow up and be responsible".   Some great suggestions already given, but I’ll second the already mentioned "Animals" by Floyd -- you g... 
A'gon joke...
@thecarpathian    Try making a joke about the Audiogon Mods and see how far over your head it goes.  Jeez, you and @nonoise need to lighten up.  More like @nosenseofhumororsarcasm.   Peace out.

I actually believe I have more Freedom of Speech in Siberia and Beijing than I do on an Audiogon Forum...  
So This Really Is The End....
@asvjerry -- Asheville is an ABSOLUTE must visit!  Beautiful scenery, and tons of lakes with 10 pound largemouth swimming in them and 5 pound smallmouth.  Not to mention truly Trout unlimited.    Asheville is now challenging Portland, OR, for th... 
Can’t buy output tubes anywhere except from manufacturers at high prices.
Viva Tubes and Brent Jesse are the ONLY vendors I bother with.  Excellent service, sales, shipping.  Brent goes out of his way to help even with the utmost, novice, actually stupid questions.   I know....I asked a lot when I acquired a near mint M...

@goofyfoot    If you are ever in Winston-Salem, NC, stop by my favorite vinyl slab purveyor, Underdog Records.  Tell Jonathan I sent you -- he will treat you right!  
Moving on a sailboat - bookshelf speakers?
Watkins Stereo Generation 4.  I did not see a budget listed, but these are around $2,500.  Watkins Stereo Store is in my hometown of Kingsport, TN, and have been building speakers since 1974.  Bill Watkins, Sr., founded the company and developed a... 
$50k - $80k Budget…Opinions please.

Is there a ceiling limit on what you are willing to pay for an audio component?
@2psyop    Which YouTube reviewer?  
Klipsch Forte McLaren Sale
@grislybutter    No problem, my man.  You are right, though, it has become impossible to make jokes anymore without knowing your crowd.  Trolls just trying to incite angry banter have made it hard for folks like most on this site that know life ...

@grislybutter    Geez, it was a joke.  Making good natured jabs at Reagan, Clinton, and Bush aren't even political at this point.  Sorry you were offended -- not my intent.  
Advice on how to liquidate system
Count me as one of the "Don't Sell Right Now" crowd.  Traumatic injuries are dealt with by us at the emotional level very much like the grieving process when we lose a loved one.  Early on we can get caught in the darkness and the feelings that, "... 
Audio Research REF 6 to REF 6SE upgrade.
@bigkidz    I wish you lived near me in Central NC.  I have 2 Pass Camp Amp Kits unboxed, waiting to be built.  Unfortunately, I haven't built a kit since the '70's, and at 59 and a half years old I have mild Parkinson-like trembles.  I'm afraid...
