The one component that you wish you had not bought

Most of us have a component that we spent good money on and then wished that we had not bought.
In my case, it was a Musical Fidelity X-Can V3....which I mistakenly acquired after reading a rave review by
Sam Telling....( yes, I know...that was pretty stupid!). 

What is the one component that you acquired that quickly went back on A'gon?

Linn LP12 with Radikal power supply. The LP12 majik sounded better and was a fifth of the price.

YMMV, but a pair of Focal monitors. Hooked them up, listened for a few minutes, unhooked them and listed them for sale. Much to dry and colorless for my taste.

But it wasn't money wasted; rather, it helped solidify my tonal tastes!

I bought a First Watt F7, and for my system it was a complete waste of time and money.

It didn't mesh well with my system. No top end, no air, no life.

There was a mismatch somewhere.

Mission Cyrus 2 integrated amp. Horrifyingly bad. One dimensional, silver coloration, sibilant, dry, anti-musical transistor pos.
