Has anyone finally decided to sell their Turntable and Vinyl collection?

Will never sell my vinyl. Been collecting since I was 15. I am 64. Over the years I sold a few out of my collection to used record stores for store credit, which was twice what cash value from store was. I also have a great CD collection, but I am selling some of those. I do 2 or 3 record shows a year and have close to 2,000 lps in my personal collection and about 300-400 that I take to shows. I still buy alot of vinyl - no CDs any more. Machete don’t stream! Never will. Got all the great music I need. I look for the deals now and buy very selectively. Just got Larry and Lee, and Ritenour Wesbound for about half price at Elusive Disc. I go through my collection before shows and pull what I don’t play at all or very often. I like to keep it where I have nothing but great condition and great (to me and my wife) music. I also have made a list of who my records and various systems go to when I die. It will go to my long time music buds. 

I will never sell my turntable - a Linn Sondek with an Alphason Hr-100s with a Linn Karma cartridge that I had re-done by Andy Kim with a micro ridge stylus sapphire cantilever and I also acquired a Linn Linto Phono preamplifier recently. I did get rid of about 50% of my LP in 2008 (dropped them at the thrift store and they were in like new condition), which I very much regret. The ones I got rid of are the ones that I replaced with CD's except a few that I kept for the LP covers.

I must admit that since I got my Musical Fidelity MX-DAC, I listen a lot less to LP's, but whenever I get over my laziness and put a LP on the turntable, there is nothing that compare to it and it will continue for days, cleaning records and listening - it is like I'm possessed.

Yes I did sell all of my vinyl, except for about 4 or 5 that are DBX encoded. Remember that?  They sounded great.  The impetus for the sale was an all Audio Research front end and amps.  The source may very well change to a Bryston Digital Player and associated DAC in the near future. Interestingly I still have an original 1917 Victrola and about 300 78s. It's amazing how loud it will play.
No, I don't regret it one bit (no pun).

We are now in the Golden Age of the LP. There are companies now releasing fabulous older analog stuff on the best vinyl and pressings ever. (except Rycodisc)
