My wife inherited a bunch of Hubbel figurines (not the wall outlets) from my great aunt. They sit in this furniture thing with glass shelves, the damned things are butt ugly and worth a LOT of money. I asked her if maybe we should sell 'em (and buy a new phono preamp and cartridge), she said NFW. She likes having them cuz it reminds her of my great aunt, and, my aunt wanted her to have'em. Don't sell your rig, and if the girlfiend keeps giving you attitiude dump her, it's just the tip of the iceberg.
Amateur inherited an audio system...
Recently I've inherited an audio system. I have no idea of what they are, I have never heard any of the brand names before, but upon checking on the internet I've found out they are somewhat high quality units. It consisted of Meridian 506 CD Player, Forte Forty-Four Pre-amp, Forte Fifty-Five Amp, Velodyne Sub and a pair of Rogers LS3/5A speakers. Some friend suggested I check out Audiogon.com, but as far as I can see most of the stuff are WAY over my head. Now that I found out about their value, my girlfriend is pressuring me to sell it, my question is.. Should I keep the system or sell it? It sounds very nice but my girlfriend keeps saying I don't need anything this fancy. Also, if I am going to sell it, is it better selling it as a system or piece-by-piece? Is eBay good for something like this? Any idea will be appreciated. Sorry for being so shallow, I really don't know much about high end audio... Thank you very much in advance.
