I hear you on the "keep it" front. it certainly seems like a great option if I can--the resale of these things seems very complicated. The problem is that this is just one piece of a huge collection of stuff, some of which is in working order probably, but its filling up my mom's house, she has hearing loss and no use for it, and I am probably soon going into a graduate study program where i will need to be mobile and live like a pauper. I mean look at this list--and this is just the "audiophile" stuff excluding some big speakers, horns, subwoofers, ...
McIntosh MX135, Lexicon NT 512, Luxman M-O2, Magnum Dynalab ft101, VPI hw-16.5, Theta ds pro V, Oracle Delphi mkIV, Advent model 300, Proton AA-1150, Dahlquist DQ 10, Mark Levinson no. 23.5, Alpha design lab gt40, Audio Research CD2, RGPC 400 mark II, McCormack micro phono drive MPD 540, Mcintosh MR78, Cello Audio Palette, Revox A77, and Magnepan MG III-A.
Not to mention a metric ton of specialized cables. It is just not in the cards for my lifestyle at the moment.
