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’ve got a 3rd meniscus tear from lifting my 80lb McIntosh MC2250 from a low shelf in a tight space. Watch 2 strong friends do it for you!

Some delicate things, like a TT, can go in the car with you. When younger (i.e. poor, moving myself) I always packed the sound system last, and remove/set up part of it first, get some music going during the pack/un-pack. Keeping an all in one boom box may be smarter.
