When I was in school (way back when), I had to sell off my beautiful Accuphase P300, C-200, T-100 trio to pay for a year's tuition. While I much prefer the equipment I have now, I wish I had been able to keep it and enjoy it for a while longer.
Anyone ever sold off their dream system and why?
Did you ever build up a dream audio system that for all intents and purposes was maxed out, sounded great and cost more than you care to remember? And then did you break it back down and if so, why did you leave Nirvana? I'm at the cusp and maybe since I have had so (too) much gear go through, I discover that maybe I can do it as well or almost as well for WAY cheaper. That's why I'm stuck on the pendulum. I peaked at 80K MSRP for a CD/Turntable based system. I want to do it for half somehow. Crappy transport into Tact into Kharma is breathtakingly good, the more so since it's so cheap. If it's so hard to climb the mountain, why are we coming back down?
