Any-wayyy,
I'll be leaving all my crap to Mrs. P (she's 11 years younger, so there's a good chance I'll peg it first). She'll almost certainly sell it on, but I know there won't be any bargains as she's a tough negotiator and tight as a ducks arse.

My take on the original question is that you no longer worry about fickle things like HiFi, and just enjoy life.
I think I am. Dry close to a different stage in my life where I have a HiFi that produces a sound I enjoy when I listen to music and I am very likely to leave it alone for a number of years and just enjoy the music it creates.

Of course, her new toy boy may be interested in keeping it once you're gone!

She'll never find one who ticks all the boxes, I've set the bar too high
And even if she did, and he took an interest in my stuff, she'd just go "Oh no I'm not going through that again!" and turf him out.

I saw a programme with two guys base jumping in Switzerland. All you need to do is copy them, but without the parachute. Cheap enough.

Missed this thread, which seems to have meandered darkly into realms of nursing homes and suchlike; I took the o.p. as age v dealing with one's kit, maybe erroneously. I have also had to face things these last couple of years, as age ( nearly 78) and eyesight etc. put the fear of God into changing and setting up expensive cart's.
The tuner and CD complement is no prob., but vinyl is a different kettle of fish, what with stylus cleaning, cueing and stuff, quite apart from setting up on two arms. Wonder how long I've got as there's no way I'm introducing new (digital) formats at my time of life, as I never tire of the music I have or that which the 01 gives me. I guess I'll have to call on the services of my local dealer friend, who analysed my set-up during an all day bake-off on Saturday. Sophisticated software, banded record, instructions (it was fairly new to him) and lap-top. It found a number of minor discrepancies but none of concern.
As my vinyl is generally superior to my CD replay (and largely because of the CD software rather than the kit), even with my knackered ears, I shall have no choice but to persevere with it

As vinyl-loving audiophiles, this is the most appropriate thing to do post mortem: https://scattering-ashes.co.uk/produ...-vinyl-record/

The quality of new vinyl is already bad enough.........As vinyl-loving audiophiles, this is the most appropriate thing to do post mortem: https://scattering-ashes.co.uk/produ...-vinyl-record/
