What's the funniest or dumbest thing you did?

How many cantilevers/tone arm leads can you bust off before it's no longer funny, and you're dumb?

Did that to 2 Jeff. One was a brand new Benz Glider,with 0 miles.

The dumbest:
I run 220 and 120VAC gear and once I inadvertedly switched the power. The 220 VAC did not mind much, said it needed VIAGRA, but the 120 gear blew a fuse, to put it mildly and so did I.
The funniest:
Running a tape of Mario Lanza at 30ips, sounded like Spike Jones with the seven dwarfs as chorus.

Detlof, that's lovely. You found a new market for Lanza!

I originally mentioned this in the "Regrets" thread some months ago.

My dumbest audio move was to trash my Dad's Sansui 1000X receiver which I had grown up listening to. One day I decided I needed to get rid of some of the "junk" around the house. Well a few weeks after the good ol' Sansui was out to pasture I had a bout of major regret.

Thankfully, Audiogon member Sherod read my post and responded with a most generous act.

He sent me for FREE a Sansui 1000X he'd won on Ebay not once, but TWICE! Now I have two Sansuis from which I can build a beautiful single working piece even better than the one I trashed.

So even in my stupidest hour, there was a good hearted and generous audiophile to help me rescue some fond memories of my youth and put a smile on my Dad's face again.

Thanks Sherod!
