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.

Well, the list is too long to mention here, but one sticks out. In a manic-depressive rage years ago, I smashed my Krell KAV-300 integrated to bits and took a baseball bat to my MB Quart speakers. My landlord, who was a really sweet guy, helped me clean up the mess, but never looked at me quite the same way again. Can't say I blamed him. Anyway, in a material sense, it was probably for the good, as I eventually replaced the gear with far better stuff, but it was clearly an idiotic thing to do, and very self-destructive. This was before I discovered effective meds, of course!

Too late! I've been married for two years, and the poor girl has had to put up with a lot--particularly my ridiculous spending habits on high end (though I doubt I'm alone there!). But we're soulmates, so I think the future looks pretty bright, despite my gear-bashing past. :)
Selling my Berning EA-230/Chartwell LS3/5a combination.

Selling my Marantz 150 tuner. Never get rid of a 'scope tuner! It would have been fine for AM and the 'scope was great for system trouble shooting.

Buying a/d/s CM7 speakers. I don't want to trash these speakers; it's just that they didn't mesh with my then BEL 1001 amp.
