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?

I only keep speakers and source equipment that I find exceptional compared to what is available today. Some components just seem to find a special place in my mind and aural memory. IF, I SOLD, I know that I would regret it sooner or later. If I needed the money to pursue an upgrade that would be a tough decision and I am sure it would require some serious internal debate. Newer is not always better, then again,  we only live so long and we must balance the curiosity of owning something different and perhaps letting others enjoy our past favorites. 😉
