I would say wait awhile too. I find many songs tell stories and I love those song even when the quality is not great. Some are old or just not perfect clarity, but listening to the story is still fun. I also listen to music on many different types of speakers and I still enjoy it - some are poor quality like in the garage or 10 headphones. I guess what I am saying is that the level of enjoyment is not always matched to the quality of the sound.
Advice on how to liquidate system
Few weeks ago, I sustained traumatic blast induced hearing loss during a training incident. The level of hearing loss and tinnitus is pretty bad, I’ve had only a minimal level of improvement. midrange and upper frequencies sound like a 1970’s transistor radio. Horrible. The reality of the situation is looking like my audiophile days are pretty much over. Now I’m thinking of what to do with the gear…the thought of dismantling my rig and selling piece by piece is nauseating. Are there any resources that would come in and take it all? At this point I really don’t give a crap about being lowballed, it’s aggravating to look at what Ive put so much time and effort into and not be able to enjoy it. I need to move on.
