Speaking of turntables and associated goodies, I just sold a tube phono stage last week - it took all of one day to move it on craigslist. In addition to the kitchen refresh, a part of making ourselves comfortable in this house, for another handful of years, is clearing out some of the crap. The phono stage was one of the things that, although nice, had been sitting unused for too long.
I also have a couple of amplifiers that need some love, and I need to decide what to do with them. One is rather nice and I'd love to have it back up and running, but it'll probably cost more than I want to put in to it (it would be for a secondary system and pretty decadent for that role).

Got rid of my vinyl in 2012 when we moved to our current house. Don’t really miss it. I listen to a lot of music.

Maybe we ought to ditch this dusty bicycle joint and find "a guy" somewhere on some stereofile forum.

Blinded studies show digital to be superior or indistinguishable from high quality analog. Claims to the contrary are like the subjective silliness we read here about frames and wheels.

I have vinyl and a turntable but no receiver to play it through. Also, digital is portable and can be played on a phone or PC. As far as sound quality? Who cares if your hearing is not great? I also don't have time to devote to parking in 1 spot to listen to an album. YMMV.
