Depends on what I'm doing:
If something extreme/doing something with somebody = they get it.
If doing something dumb (like drinking) then it goes nowhere, it just sits.
If I'm like honored as dying during battle or something it goes in my room and it will be sealed and undisturbed.
If anything else It'll just probably have been distributed already and I'll just have a speaker setup for my familia!

Wouldn't it be a little scary to wear headphones and realize that the last head between them is now under the ground?

Me too, except I won't be having my stuff cremated.

If I may be so bold: It's coming with me, physically, to the other world! END OF STORY!

No idea. Most of the coolest guys around here already have gear better than mine, so I'd probably leave it to one of my close friends who I would hope would use and appreciate it.

I have a 1972 Marantz receiver that I bought a few years ago. I have the feeling that the original owner is probably dead. I also have a Zippo lighter and a Bulova wrist watch from the 1950s and the original owners are probably dead too.

Lastly, I have a 1930s Western Electric telephone and I’m pretty sure the previous owner is dead too.

If I own something very old and I like it, I feel that it’s best to take care of it and treat it respectfully. As a gear lover, it gives me a sense of satisfaction.
