whats the biggest mistake you made?

ever sell a peice of gear then realize you made one big mistake or find a better way to run it after its allready gone?

for me it was the mcintosh mc2102 tube amp that wasnt cuttin the mustard or so i thought,since then ive tried many amps & none have gave me the same feeling as that amp.

most of the changes ive made over the years have been good or atleast i could live with them but that one change really taught me alot,im taking things alot slower nowdays & taking the time to hear the different gear i bring in before rushing to decisions.

Stopped listening to the music and started listening to the equipment. My system sounds better today then it ever has. The problem is I got in the habit of analyzing it instead of listening to the music. This is a mistake I suggest be avoided. I remember getting more enjoyment out of my $500.00 JVC system than I am getting out of this current system (embarrassed by the money I have spent so won't say how much).

JUST ENJOY THE MUSIC

My biggest mistake was not taking room treatment into consideration. I got to the point where I enjoyed listening to my Grado RA-1, RS-1 combo more than my (retail about $15k+)system because of the harsh brightness in my room. Get a good sounding room and a $2k system will make magic happen. But it's hard to figure out, and you have to work hard on the wife to get it to work. I guess that's why people have incredible systems and bare walls when I look at their systems on Agon.

One February (long ago) I got my tongue stuck to the garage door. Punched a wall and broke my hand when I was a teenager. Got involved in audio. Hmmm.. which one is worse?
