Amazing SQ I hear. You have to be into harp music I think On 2/22/2020 at 7:08 AM, Iving said: what will happen to our stuff when we die? Sadly, last April I lost my best friend of 40 years. He was also an audiophile and learning of his impending fate he made a list of all his gear inclusive of exact name/make /model, age, purchase price, condition, links to reviews and suggested advertising price and minimum price to accept. In the event that things did not sell he recommended the names of professional retailers to either do a valuation or to take the gear on consignment. He arranged for me to assist his wife in all things to do with the sale. In Australia there is an online forum that also specializes in second hand sales of high end gear. People buying and selling are typically well known to everyone, at least by their online reputation (as you now 'know' me). There is also reviews posted by both sellers and purchasers about their previous experiences and "reputation" points earned. Virtually all the gear sold within a couple of weeks and in some cases for the full asking price. There was little haggling as people knew the circumstances and presumably had some measure of trust in me.The majority of the gear was bought sight unseen (and unheard) and that included a Gryphon amplifier for $14,000 ! Cheers David Edit - I was able to cobble together a whole second more modest system from 'left-overs' - spare gear so the widow could still listen to music. She was able to play all of the favourite music and playlists as they were ripped to hard disc. Iving and mourip 2 Sound Minds Mind Sound Link to comment
