The Shortest Time you kept a new piece for ??

How about an SF2 for a few hours? Traded an integrated for it so I could use it as a trade on something else.

Next shortest would have to be a PSS IC, which was maybe a week. Without a doubt the brightest cable I've heard.

PS Audio HCA-2. 2 weeks. Not a bad amp, just not what I wanted. For me, the Rogue 88 is better.

That is funny - I thought the MA6850 was very nice. I guess we are all different and all have different systems (room included) we use to audition a single component.

I ditched used B&W N805 speakers faster than anything else - 5 days or so. Any less time than that and I don't think you know what you have. Other people like the 805s. However, there are really too many variables involved to be able to get anything from such comments. Arthur
