We all know that a forum is merely an official excuse for the male of the species to make lists of stuff, so here's a chance to make one! I wonder what components you have lying around or stored away that are unused?
I don't have nearly as much as I used to:
Ultracraft AC-300 unipivot tonearm LFD MC1 phono stage Pioneer SX-440 - a lovely little black fascia receiver Sansui (can't remember the moddel number) receiver Mission Cyrus 2 Amptastic MiniT amplifier SD Acoustics OBS speakers Acoustic Research AR 44BX speakers HFN/RR Headcase headphone amp

Depends what you mean by unused. I tend to just add to existing systems in other rooms. So we have the main system (two systems in there at the mo!!), two bedroom systems, computer room system etc. So the only bits actually stored are: Some rubbish Sony 5.1 amp and 5 speakers and boom box. Ronnie's JBL speakers. The various systems do get switched on from time to time so I can kid myself they are all needed

I mean items not connected in a system Gordon. But I didn't take into account unused systems!

Very little now as most of my kit is in use these days. There are a few unused IC's, A Sony CDP from an early 1990's micro system (I forget the model but it sounds pretty good), a Sony ST73 Tuner which hums a bit so probably needs some caps replacing (hardly surprising really as it hails from the mid '70's), plus the Inkel MA420 and B&W DM2's, and that's about it I think.

Bloody hell . unused gear is a crime . Sell it and let some one use it . In my case the DM2's, MA420 and ST73 are awaiting repairs. The DM2's will end up back in the main system once fixed and the Skibo's will be moving on. The ST73 will be staying and it will depend on how the MA420 performs as to whether it will be staying or not. It never hurts to have a spare amplifier knocking about though

I only have my precious small Chario Syntar standmount speakers which I am keeping for a second system when we move house. I would never part with them.
Chris - I notice you have a Cyrus 2. I remember demoing this back in the day and really enjoying it when partnered with the additional PSX power supply ...

A pair of Alesis power amps, a three channel mixer, various Technics 1210 parts, and some mixing cartridges - all relics from my bedroom DJing days. I may have just found a use for the mixer though, as I've recently commandeered a bass guitar, and might use the mixer to plug this into the system for a little bass karaoke

I had the Cyrus 2 and psx, i liked them, there are many who don't. My first toe dip into HIFI which didn't come from the cheap shelves. I was using a Technics amp prior to the Cyrus

Bloody hell . unused gear is a crime . Sell it and let some one use it . Quite If I had more time most or all of mine would be gone and be enjoyed as much as I enjoyed it. My massive upgrading spree was responsible for nearly all of it. Once gone I won't go stock piling

And the funk platter should sell quickly on AoS, even if it is not flavour of the month.

Arcam 8/8P,NAD 3225 amps,AVC amp/Phoenixa30(not really unused,I just switch between them),a sony CD player,a decent tuner(can't remember the model but it's the one everyone bought )and quite a few interconnects and lengths of speaker wire. I've sold an audiolab and some mission speakers recently.
Does anyone fancy setting up a swap shop so we could all maybe play with each other's unused toys?
