I Hate Moving


Regardless of looking a little dumb for posting such a topic, I was wondering if others had advice when it comes to moving a stereo from one apartment to another. My landlord died a couple months back and I received a letter from the estate attorney telling me to vacate the house that I’ve been living in for eight years. The apartment I’m moving into is actually nicer but smaller and I’ll have someone living above me. My amplifier weighs about eighty pounds and the two power supplies and battery take up a good amount of floor space. I do have the original boxes for everything except my Quad 2905 ESL’s, which I wrap in bubble wrap and carefully lay on an inflatable mattress in the back of my SUV. This method works well, I did this whenever delivering the speakers to my Quad technician. Anyway, it’s just a pain.

I "feel your pain".  We moved about three years ago, twice.  We sold our house immediately in early 2020 and our new home wasn't ready until around Thanksgiving that year.

In my case I kept all the original boxes and with help from my son & friends, boxed all the components up and moved them to a climate controlled storage unit, part of "decluttering" our former home.

When the movers came to deliver our stuff to the new home, they carried all that heavy stuff up the 15 steps to my bonus room.  My son helped me unbox and setup the system in its new, and permanent home!

Good luck with the move.  I'm not doing that again!
