Every make a purchase you truly regret?

Gunbei:

Didn't lift a finger. Paid the skinheads next door a can of paint thinner and some plastic bags to move it all. LOL!

Dekay - That's some neighborhood you're in there...I guess being the audiophile on the block must make you the local weirdo if sorts :-)

Yeah, and the target!

oh crap...why remind me albert?

the film was shot, reedited and then a new score was added. An amazing one. all improv to the film. the guy was like a black tom waits and was perfect. Toledo. he plays around hollywood (thetoledoshow.com) amazing.

[i could go on for days)

then i got caught in a lawsuit because i found out the company was stealing the film and selling it overseas. that took months and months of my time but i nailed the shit ouf of that company like tyson going mental on a toddler. it felt good but my film is still screwed. i'm in the process of bringing it back around ... we'll see. the experience took me 10 notches closer to ...you know...'going out the window.' and i only had about 15 notches to go when i started. maybe things will work out...but at this point i'd consider a victory if i didn't wind up on the 5 o'clock news after having shot up century city (only at certain people)

while i have you on the phone:

i need to decide between two options and was hoping you could help. i have a credit and can buy either 1 - VPI Aries with 10" arm (~3,600) OR both VPI Aries with 9" arm and the VPI SDS box for controling speed. The two options about equal the same amount. im going ahead with your approval of the Luckaschek phono stage - will i have to get rid of my HO Benz Glider do you thnk?
thanks albert

Definitely go with the deal that includes the SDS box. The improvement that makes is significant, much more than the difference in the tonearm.

The HO Benz is fine with Lukaschek, you will have dynamics and signal to noise to "burn."
