Kennyh asked-
What will you sell Jim?

probably less than you should:D

OK, bearing Tony's post re selling in the discussion forums, I will edit the word doc to reflect only the working systems and post it later. I think there is still some stuff not mentioned already in the thread which Steve (OP) may find interesting.

Right now I have a mini rugby tournament at Coppul to go to:cool:
Jim
 
Here's mine :
Sonos Connect
Beresford Bushmaster MKII
Naim Nait 2
Usher S520 speakers

I also have 2 temple Audio monoblock with a DC2 power supply.
I'm trying to make my mind up between to monos and the Nait.
The monos have better sound quality and inject a lot of power into the Ushers even at low volumes... but the Nait is so much fun to listen to.....
 
probably less than you should:D

:D:D It's one of those things Jim, I decide to sell something, I get it out to take pics for the ad., then fire it up to see if all is ok..............then decide to keep it a bit longer:mad:

Like you, if a sale was needed to put food on the table it'd all be gone, but being fortunate that it's neither here nor there if I sell or not is probably the reason I seldom sell anything.
 
System basically unchanged in 5-6 years:

Vinyl: Linn LP12 / Cirkus / Hercules PSU / Ittok LVII / Ortofon Kontrapunkt 'h'
CD: Theta Data Basic II
HDD: Yamaha CDR-HD1300
Tuner: Rotel RT-02
DAC: Bryston BDA-1
Pre: Classe' CP-500
Phono: Classe' PHCP-500
Amps: Jeff Rowland Model 201
Spkrs: Tannoy D700
AC Filter: PS Audio Quintet
Power cords: PS Audio Statement SC
Digital signal: Transparent Audio Reference AES/EBU (CDT) / Toslink (CDR)
Analogue signal: PS Audio Transcendent (XLR & RCA)

What has changed is the environment...

We downsized accommodation when daughters left home last year and the audio system is stuck in a non-ideal location behind the dining table due to a failure to dispose of enough unneeded furniture.

This was a situation where it was not the right time to get into a domestic squabble.

(I have cancer of the oesophagus and have completed chemo and radiation treatments - which have had the desired effect of reducing the tumour to under 50% of original size - and with surgery - oesophagectomy - due at end-July - so getting into a pitched battle over audio system positioning doesn't seem that important at the moment. Once the surgery has come and gone the situation may well be reviewed... :) )

C'est la vie (hopefully)
