This may be a bit scattered and I appologize in advance: I'm taking a 10 minute break from an all nighter to write this.
As the title suggests, I'm thinking of dramatically altering my 2 channel rig and was hoping for some feedback on what you all think of the idea.
Right now I've got the following gear:
Unison Unico (for sale) (VD Power 3)
Musical Fidelity a308cr (Michael Wolff Source PC)
VPI Scout w/ Dynavector DV 20X-L (stainless steel claim & Ersamat)
Dynavector P-75
Von Schweikert VR-1s (Osiris stands)
Cabling is Empress/Grover SR through out.
I'm toying with the idea of essentially selling everything but the speakers/stands in the following ways:
Vinyl rig + cleaning stuff should take ~$3000 used ( significant hit for me)
MuFi could probably take ~1800
I'd send that ~$4800 to a used source with volume control (i.e. high end wadia).
I'd then sell off my Unico ~1100
my headphone rig ~1200
my power 3 ~100
and a little out of pocket to spend ~3K on a sweet pair of tube monoblocks.
Then next year when I had the money and a house of my own (apartment dweller) I could pick up the VR-4jrs I've been lusting over and have a theoretical dream system.
What do you guys think? Is it worth it to loose analog capabilities? I can keep my LPs until I can afford to do both some day in the future.
