This post really hit home, because my husband – a true, old school audiophile who had read this forum for years – died unexpectedly in January. I have all his gear and records to deal with and it’s a bit overwhelming. I have 3 sets of electrostatic speakers ( 2 Bevs and 1 Quad) all in various stages of being rebuilt, a vintage Macintosh amp that just decided to stop working, a variety of other components and a couple hundred records. I think I have found someone willing to take on the speaker rebuilding but what do I do with all the records? They are mostly classical and jazz and the local used record stores are only interested in rock. And the Mac amp weighs a ton. I can’t even move it. So you all may think you’re immortal, but give a moments thought to what you would be leaving your spouse or partner to deal with if you unexpectedly got hit by a bus tomorrow.
Had an epiphany, what would happen when all of you die?
This is not about analog directly or even music, I don't think there is another place in this planet with adepts like most of you are here in audiogon, what will happen when you all die? Raul, MC, Mijo, Lew, Erik, Atmasphere, (myself), even the one that shall not be named, even GK (how ya doing cupcake).
Will someone carry the torch? Would anyone care?Kind of sad to say see an age in audio technology (not only analog) pass by, really this post doesn't even make any sense, apologies in advance.
With all the craziness, and criticism,
If I would be alive 100 years from now I'll still miss audiogon and your contributions.
Thank you all for all the craziness
