The Shortest Time you kept a new piece for ??

I had a Denon 3803 i was going to use for my HT, bought it about a month ago, returned it about a week and a half ago.

its not that it sounded bad, its just a fincancial emergency came up, and its easy to return things to large retail stores.

i'll definatly buy another one down the road. for now, im just gonna focus on my newly started 2 channel system

Phillips SACD 1000 - Lasted about an hour in my system. It was brand new so I was able to dump it in about five minutes here at the gon.

Hey Y'all,

I was looking to improve the 2 ch. performance in my HT system. I tried to replace my Krell HTS-1 with a Proceed AVP-S. I purchased it here on the 'Gon and had it in my system for 4 days. I sold it in a week. It did music OK but was completely flat on movies. I kept the HTS-1 until I could get the Showcase and now I'm very happy.......John

About 30 minutes a Yamaha M-80 amp . Thought it would be better than my Crown D-150. Wrong!!!Still have the Crown

Come to think of it, I did purchase a Magnum Dynalab MD-208 ''Class A'' Recommended component. It apparently had a super tuner AND a top notch electronics amp by Sim Audio. Turns out this ''Class A'' item had the lower economy Celeste parts from SIM (not the Moon line). Sounded thin and edgy, although the tuner section was pretty good when connected on it's own to another amplifier.

Kept it a whole Saturday afternoon, and begged for the dealer to refund my money. Wouldn't, of course, so he gave me a Sim I-5 in return. Marginally better, but still not a good match. Kept THAT about a week. My purchase of the MD-208 gave me a final and expensive lesson about the mistake of buying gear off the smell of a great review....
