That's a tough personal call because you don't want to regret selling it all off.
I haven't listened to ANY of my vinyl in a full year this month since moving to our new place. Honestly, I don't miss it from a purely musical perspective. However, I do get the urge sometimes to play with the equipment. You know, clean a record on the RCM, align a cartridge, adjust VTA, and watch the vinyl go round and round. ;-)
But musically, I actually prefer the convenience and excellent sonics I'm getting through my music files on the Mac Mini and DAC. I also run Spotify, Pandora, or Amazon Music.
You might consider selling off all your vinyl related gear but keep just a couple dozen prized records. You can always buy an entry level turntable, phono, and cartridge in the future if you get that urge to tinker with the equipment.
In basement storage and unused for the past year:
- Record Albums
- Technics SL1200mkII black, brand new never used
- SL1200mkII KAB modified bought new from KAB a few years ago
- PS Audio GCPH Phono
- Dynavector 17D3 cartridge
- Dynavector 20XH cartridge
- Benz Glider SL cartridge
- Denon DL-103R cartridge
- A few head shells
- VPI record cleaning machine
- Misc alignment tools, loupe, digital scale, brushes, cleaner, sleeves, etc.

haven't played it and with the quality of my digital playback, kinda favor my PC audio sound better. Just because I have a couple of records that I think sound killer is not a good enough reason to have all this "stuff" that I seem to be losing interest in. And just to be clear, just because I use the word "stuff" doesn't mean that I'm trivializing it. I consider most material things "stuff". Just my nature...

Same here.... most material things are just "stuff" to me. I don't get too emotionally tied to it except for very few sentimental items that are not audio related.
But everyone is different so it's a very personal choice whether to sell off most of your vinyl and related equipment.
My vinyl equipment is not very expensive so it's not like I'll get a lot for it. If it were me, I would keep one Technics SL1200mkII tt and the Dyna DV-20XH and maybe two dozen albums... and sell the rest.
