Your single most significant purchase mistake?

A tie between Thiel 3.6 and Muse Model 175.

this is a fun informative thread

there are numerous items listed by others, highly respected, experienced users, that i have tried myself in the past and actually liked a lot... while i moved on, these items certainly would not be on my ’top worst mistakes’ list

big thiels, muse amp, vac pa 100 (i had/still have the 4 chassis 90-c’s), nht 3/3's... of course every component, at any level of quality and cost, has strengths and weaknesses, but i think this just shows how varying personal tastes can be, how different specific use cases/applications are, how important synergy is in systems with mating components... fascinating stuff...

Purchase of wives - or husbands - not funny. If you wonder why there are few women on this forum - look here.

My wife was a gift from God 42 years ago, of which I still cherish her. She is very understanding of this hobby too. What more could I ask for? :-)

But how does she sound?
