Your Private Audio Museum

Many of you have mentioned that just when you thought your system was complete, you were overcome by the urge to upgrade and once again, found yourself changing components.

Having just missed bidding on an obscure integrated amp on ebay, I realized this weekend that I am suffering from an even stranger affliction, the compulsion to COLLECT and WAREHOUSE audio components, even if I have no time or even the intention to ever plug them in.

I used to imagine assembling systems from different vintages and putting them in different bedrooms as exotic clock radios for my guests.

But now I am wishing that I might have all of these components somehow be part of my listening room or library.

If you already collect - or plan to collect - multiple components or multiple systems, how would you propose storing or displaying everything?

You have to tell us...what was the obscure integrated amp on Ebay? Let me guess: A&R A60?

You are not alone,I am also into buying and buying and buying some more components.I rarely use them all but like to keep them around.I can't say no to a good deal.It's kind like a disease.I keep some in their boxes or on the rack,my wife complains about the boxes however,like a warehouse!!!!

I'm like that also - I've got 6 systems in my bedroom alone. Lots of stuff from ebay and Audiogon. I'm into equipment that has lots of lights, esp. Blue lights. Some of them I've replaced the LED's with blue ones. Maybe you could put together another system in another (or same) room.
