Your most disappointing purchase or audition?

I've had a few.

bought a Naim Nait 3. Loved it in the store. Returned it within a week- way forward at home

Brought home some CJ preamp to audition perhaps 22 years ago. Noisy as anything and a turn off transient destroyed a tweeter (though years later i bought a CJ 17LS2 which I thought was the finest preamp I ever heard in my home)

Auditioned a VPI table (HW19) in a store- the store just could not get the belt to stay on. Bought a Rega instead. This was in perhaps 1990.

Fortunately, I never really experienced buyers remorse say 6 months or more after settling on a piece of gear.

Finally, there have been too many speakers that got stellar write ups which I just didn't care for.

Tubes108, Hi, I am sorry, I appoligize to you, I did not mean for you to take what I said like that, no, I do not work for atmasphere at all, I just enjoy his post to all of us members, he has helped me a few times with answers to my questions on the threads, Ralph is a likeable member, but you post to me was valid indeed, thus, the appology.

Yes we are all human and mistakes happen. If there was problems with a manufactures unit, I feel they should fix them to a satifactory level. If the unit was bought used of course I would expect a charge if out of warranty. You have every right to be upset if this was not done or fixed.

Jwm,
I think that part of the point that Tubes108 was trying to make was that he was not so much "upset" with Atmasphere, but like everyone else on this thread, was relaying what he considered his most disappointing purchase.

Congrats guys for coming about and giving Tubes 108 a fair shake. I heard of this particular set of amps. Problematic indeed.
