Finding good homes for even great gear can be a bit of a crap shoot. When I was forced to downsize some years ago, I had to sell my pristine Quad ESL-57 system, which I’d lovingly restored and enjoyed for 20-30 years. Beautiful copper grills and a custom subwoofer built by a local speaker designer especially for my system & room. I could NOT line up a buyer before having to move & was forced to sell both to a gloating bottom feeder at the last minute for 10c on the dollar. A real heartbreaker.
Another example: I’ve got an old PS Audio 4.6 preamp (once a cult-audiophile favorite) in the closet that I’ve offered several times online for a mere $50 + shipping. Crickets. And none of my audiophile friends was willing to take it even for free. Yeah, I haven’t fired it up in 10 years, but the last time I did, it still sounded great in passthrough mode.
So go figure.
