Keeping backup equipment?


I recently had to send my amplifier in For service. In its place I picked up a used Schiit Vidar to tide me over. 
So now that I have my main amplifier back and it seems to back to making me happy I’m wondering if I should keep the Schiit or sell it. On one hand it makes sense to have a backup ready to go, on the other my main amp has
been flawless for several years. So it sort of seems a waste and maybe someone, like me, may need one on the cheap.

so for those running separates, do you have backups stored away for emergency’s?

The only reason I keep so called "back ups" is so when I’m sick of something I can just readily grab something else that is put away and install it. Prevents buying more crap and tossing away more money. Always have some "back ups". To be honest, I do not look at what is stored away as a back up. Instead, I look at these things as stuff I love equally as well as what is currently being used. They only make certain models for so long, then you gotta buy them used. Then who knows what your getting. At least I know my stuff was treated well. I've often sold things I wish I hadn't. I stopped making that mistake.
