Is It Time To Sell My Vinyl Rig?

Hey All,
There once was a time when I looked forward to shopping for arcane mono classical and jazz vinyl. The anticipation of hearing a newly cleaned recording from 1957 that I didn’t realize existed until just a few hours prior. The satisfaction of owning 200 plus records. But now since I’ve upgraded my DAC and Transport, I’ve become disenchanted with vinyl. It still sounds musical but not nearly as close to a live performance as my digital setup. So I’m now I’m thinking about selling my ASR Mini Basis Exclusive MK 2 phono preamp and my modified Thorens TD 145 with AT 33 mono anniversary cartridge. I could put the money towards a surgical procedure that I’ve been putting off. Will I regret this afterwords? I don’t even know how much to ask for the equipment or whether someone would even take an interest in it. Any ideas out there?

Hi Goofyfoot
I have seen what your problem is and can solve it for you.  You say:

"shopping for arcane mono classical and jazz vinyl ."   and:

" Better soundstage, outstanding separation and position of instruments,"

You're listening to the vinyl in mono and the digital in stereo.
Fix that and you'll soon be back on track.
No need for expensive brain surgery or to sell your Thorens.
Indeed, you should get a better turntable.

No fee.
