Much easier to collect "stuff" than to let it go.

It would have been more if people I know hadn't offered to take a couple off my hands in exchange for some beer tokens. I am very bad at selling gear and usually only do so when a friend connects me with someone looking for what I have lurking unused on a shelf. A plan for this year is to sell some surplus gear.

 

[Yomanze]

I used to have a lot more... probably had around 5x or so amps on rotation at one time around 10yrs ago.

But I now have 2x: an LFD PA2M (SE) and an Exposure IV.

I own two Pass Labs XA100.5 Monoblocks and a Pass Labs XP20 pre, Two Rank Concept Monoblocks, a Project Miaia, an XTZ desktop amp, and a home cinema amp. The kids also all have all-in-one Marantz systems so we have loads of amps.....

Main System: Tron Atlantic
Garage: Quad 303
Movies: Quad 306

All good in different ways!

In use:
Croft Integrated Phono

In storage:
Densen B100
Leak ST20
Fisher 800C

I'm surprised how much gear some folk have! I guess if I had the space I might accumulate more - as it is I feel a bit guilty having this much unused 'clutter'!

 

[TimF]

A pair of LinnenberG Allegro mono's, A Naim XS3 integrated, and a pair of Croft Series 7's. Probably could thin down. Nah.

 

[Roog]

I responded with two thinking that we were talking about integrated or power amps, but having now read the thread even if i add in my small collection of pre amps I can see that I some way to go. Clearly i have been far too reserved in my purchases and i should go out and buy, buy, buy!

Right now where did I see that Musical Fidelity 'muscle Amp' for sale?

 

[LostAtSea]

A NobSound, 34/306 & a KEL84

Wait, wait, wait : when you say "In the wings", does that mean "eventually for sale" ?
(Just giving it a try............)

I basically have two amps, my 1981 Meridian for the stereo, and a 1990's Technics (recently refurbed by Jez Arkless), doing the TV sound. I have a spare power amp for the Meridian and a Monitor Audio A100 as a spare for the TV system, so that makes 4 in total.

Yes, I would be willing to sell some of my amps. Just haven't pushed the START button. Interested in anything?

[paulfromcamden]

Question for the peeps with ten amps: are you not tempted to flog a load of them and put the money towards some really amazing kit?

 

[miktec]

I have four power amps - two in use and two on 'reserve'.
Favourite is the ILP modular that I built about 40 years ago and rebuilt in 2019, currently residing in the shed - was very cheap to make but sounds great and is remarkably robust.
Also love my Quad 303 but currently it's just ornamental - used it for some time with a heavily modified 33.

Daily use in the house are two integrateds - a Quad Vena (for the desk) and a Cambridge One (linked to TV)
