    I would sell everything (except the Sanders amp / Sentimental / $teal / P2P) if different gear, in the same price range, could surpass the enjoyment I get from my current set up.

    Melos SHA-1 Sentimental plus, I've never heard a better preamp at any price
    BDP - my custom, hand made tube phono stage
    Heath Williamson 5 tube monos - Sentimental/ptp
    Sony SCD-555ES - (modded). Performance. I'd say 98% of the MF Tri-Vista at 1/3 price.
    SDA SRS 2.3tl's - sentimental

    That said though, most everything else will probably come and go.

    I swore I wouldn't part with the Quads but I'm going to sell mine (to get a newer pair down the road)

    Same thing with my VPI HW-19mkIV. I've tricked it out about as far as I can get. Now I want to start with a Scoutmaster and trick it out over time.

    My main rig. Someday it may become secondary but I doubt I'll sell the pieces in the next 20 years.
    Onix SP3- destined to be a classic.
    Totem Mites- the most underrated mini-monitor on the market, and a perfect match for the SP3 IMHO
    Jolida JD100 modified- a killer bargain
    Celestion si stands- legendary

    But most important are the oak stereo rack and dresser my grandfather built.

    I will never ever sell my DQ-10's. The rest is up for grabs although I would have a very hard time letting go of my Manley line stage preamp. Everything just sounds so good going through it.

    LSi7s are probably the last piece of audio gear I would sell. Great performers, even in large spaces, and they don't take up much room at all.

    I think I'd have the hardest time selling my RT55's. The first thing I bought when I got a "real" job; I'd been planning to purchase some Polks since I was 11 and drooling over the SDA line in my grandfather's Stereo Reviews. I think I'd store my 2B's for a long time if/when I replace them in my 2 channel set up, but if someone with more dollars then sense came my way, they'd be gone too. None of my stuff is what I'd consider good enough to keep forever.

    My dog, well, being a 7 month old puppy, there are times when I'd give him away. To the person that caught him. After he descended from his low earth orbit, as induced by my foot in contact with his hind quarters. Most of the time, he's cool, though.

    Shack, we have something in common. I also only have one functioning kidney, so kind of need to hang onto that for a bit longer.

    Gear-wise, I love most of my gear but wouldn't put any of it in the "won't ever sell" category. If I found a great price on something better, I'd be all over it. Also, when you have entry level stuff from a lot of nice audio companies (Thiel, Polk, MF, Music Hall, Theta), then you know there's better stuff a little higher up the foodchain. Maybe in 5-10 years I'll finally settle down and keep some stuff for over a year.

    At this point, you'd probably be right. That said though, I'm a planar/stat guy. Much as I love the 2.3tl's, I'd have to choose the planars.

    I feel what Doro is saying vis a vis "never"

    that said, it would have to be a VERY unusual circumstance to sell my AR9's, I'm gonna run these things until they evaporate.

    as much as I should sell the Carver Platinums since I dont have an area in my house for them to shine the way they should, I still dont have the heart to. Hearing them at Polkfest (in reverse configuration) has renewed my interest with these things. time to start thinking outside the box.

    the LSi's in my theater aint going anywhere anytime soon, this is a performance to dollar thing. to ge a marked improvement in the theater, I would have to remortgage my house or something.

    Carver amps (tfm45 and 4.0t) another perofrmance to dollar thing, even with the rising prices on the used market.

    The Hafler DH500's (2), they make the AR9's sound so good. thinking of letting Musical Fidelity get there hands on them and go to town

    Rogers LS-6 monitors, they just have something I like. selling em for the measly 200 or so they're worth isnt close to worth it.
    Living Room 2 Channel -
    Schiit SYS Passive Pre. Jolida CD player. Songbird streamer. California Audio Labs Sigma II DAC, DIY 300as1/a1 Ice modules Class D amp. LSi15 with MM842 woofer upgrade, Nordost Blue Heaven and Unity interconnects.

    Upstairs 2 Channel Rig -
    Prometheus Ref. TVC passive pre, SAE A-205 Amp, Wiim pro streamer and Topping E50 DAC, California Audio Labs DX1 CD player, Von Schweikert VR3.5 speakers.

    Studio Rig - Scarlett 18i20(Gen3) DAW, Mac Mini, Aiyma A07 Max (BridgedX2), Totem Mites

    NAD c160.

    Not the best preamp in the world, but I have wanted it ever since it came out and now I have it. It is from the same line as my amp, and I can tell that I can mate it with just about any poweramp and get stellar performance. It is the item that has finally broken the "integrated" curse.

    I don't see needing a new preamp in a long time.

    The other thing would be my JBL passive studio monitors. I have put enough money into upgrading woofers, crossovers, ect, that I doubt I will ever get rid of them. They are probably the best nearfield monitors I have ever heard, but they did not start out this way. When you put a lot of work into something, it makes it hard to sell.

    Well I never sell any of my 2 channel stereo equipment. i just use it till It just dies...LOL
    My Polk SDA 1C's (studio)or the black models....I will just keep upgradeing till Polk no longer has replacement parts

    Onkyo entagra M-504 amp. Has never failed me. I got it for cheap(thats a realitive term..I don't remember what it cost me..probably $500.) as a demo model and 1 of the meter lights was out. 1 rap on the top and the light was back on...LOL

    Sony XA3ES disc player....one of the best at the time..and still works perfectly.

    A Technics model 1700 turn table. Not Audio phile..but one of the only ones that would work at the volume that I play music at.

    I see no reason to sell any of these. I could not get the money I paid for them, and have no interest in trying to ship them anywere. Plus they work better then most new stuff anyway.

    I don't think I will ever get rid of my B&K ST-140 2 channel amp. It was and still is my first amp and part of my first venture into seperates. Everything has kinda revolved around it ever since I got it.

    I have offered it to someone to try so they could get an idea of seperates. But they never took me up on it.:rolleyes: But thats about as close to being sold as it will ever come............... Right now.
