My vinyl collection started in the 60s and I moved them from country to country and state to state multiple times without ever getting rid of any. CDs will stay too. And now streaming with zero chance of myself getting rid of that either. Unless you are short on space or have a wife who won't put up with all the stuff. I resolved both by building the house of stereo. Best audio thing I ever done by a mile.

Over the past year or so, I have become a born again vinyl enthusiast. As a consequence, I am loving music more than ever. I hardly ever listen to Qobuz or local music files any more.
During my vinyl free years, I acquired lots of accessories in an attempt to make the digital sound more palatable. They things like an audiophile switch, a Roon ROCK NUC, IsoAcoustic feet, Snergistic Research Tranquility Pods, linear power supplies, etc.
Now I am thinking that maybe I should just sell the whole lot and get back to basics. They seemed to make sense at the time, but probably aren’t contributing that much now. I could cancel my Qobuz and Roon subscriptions while I’m on.
I’d raise enough cash to replace my cartridge when the time comes or go some way towards upgrading my power amps.
I made one big mistake in getting rid of vinyl a few years ago and feel reluctant to do the same with digital. Although it wouldn't be going completely, just the bells and whistles.
Has anybody else had a clear out like this? If so, is it something you’ve regretted?
Cheers, John
