Best way to sell a record collection

Hybrid Integrated with 6S*7s

Dickie Betts died earlier today at 80 years of age
I was lucky enough to see the original band while Duane and Berry were still alive. I always thought Betts never got as much credit as he deserved. A real treat for me is his “High Falls” off of Win, Lose, or Draw. Rest in peace and let those lead...

Amplifier and Speaker A/B switcher
Van Alstine. I don’t have their switchbox but it may provide what you need. Apparently there was enough demand for it they did another run of them.  
Amp Recommendations
Try a Van Alstine DVA SET 500. Great sound with music, good value, solid build, no frills, very powerful.   
What was your first record?
Cream - Disraeli Gears lp

Coincident Frankenstein 300b Stereo Amp
@lak thank you for the reply! I appreciate your time! I will need to get another pair of more efficient speakers if I get this amp so I have not ordered yet. I am considereing the Union 6s. Regardless I won’t be giving up the EgglestonWorks speake... 
Coincident Frankenstein 300b Stereo Amp
Thx @lak. I tried to read all of the post by him and others on things Coincident and incorrectly thought I had, until I read the @paul_lindemann posts about this amplifier. I think I have the information for which I was looking.
