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.

I got tinnitus in 1998, and listening to music is different now. I no longer enjoy listening intently to speakers placed eight feet across the room. It sounds as if the hiss (high-pitched) takes up the entire space between speaker and ear/brain.

It was frustrating for a few years, and then life changed whereby I spend most of my time on my computer. I have no problem now listening to CDs I ripped to different hard drives connected to my laptop, through a pair of Bowers & Wilkins MM1’s. I seldom think about what I have lost any longer.

Hope this helps.
