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.

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?
entrope,hows it been? ya know ive bought & sold 2 other cad 5500's since buying yours & each time i sell it i start to miss it,one things for sure for the money spent they are amazing preamps,i still have one on ice in the closet.

I guess it was selling my Shanling CD-S100 MkII. A h**l of a player for the money, overbuilt in many ways. I was short of cash that month, no better reason--except that I thought I didn't deserve to have three sources I liked listening to.

I liked the Aurum Cantus Leisure 2 SE a lot too, but I really couldn't afford to keep those in my bedroom. I have a pair of Acoustic Energy Aegis Ones now that should be a nice step up from my old Titans.
