Have you asked yourself this question?

Lately I have thought about selling my entire analog set-up:  Turntable, phono preamp, and vinyl collection.  It's a good system, but my digital system sounds good enough that I don't listen to the analog system any more.

For purposes of illustrating my dilemma, my system is as follows:

Analog system:  Linn Sondek LP12, upgraded with Lingo II power supply, Karousel bearing, and trampolin suspension.  Loci Psionic Tonearm with practically new Clearaudio Maestro cartridge.  PS Audio Stellar Phono Preamp.  Plus, about 450 records, mostly popular stuff from the late 60s, 70s and 80s.

Digital System:  Metrum Acoustics Streamer (Roon endpoint) plus Metrum Onyx DAC.

Just curious if any of you have thought about selling your entire analog rig, because you don't listen to it.  What did you finally decide? Interested in your experiences.

If

- you do not use your analog system anymore for good, never, ever again

- you will not miss looking at your records (or even the nice looking rig)

- you don't want spending time to fiddle with the set up and cartridges

- you will not get 'tired' listenting to digital only (who knows that)

Then, taking your place, I would most probably sell it.

 

I for myself did sell the analog rig and all vinyl once, when I was 22 and coming back home from a longer trip. I needed  💲😁. I have bought new systems during the past years and in the meantime have collected around 900 records. Today, analog and streaming go together just fine. And I do like the whole procedure which comes with listening to vinyl.

'Truth be told, if there was an easy method of sorting, cataloguing and selling a 1,000+ albums, I would have pulled the plug years ago.'
