Ever change your mind?


I put a tube integrated amp up for sale because I bought something else. So after getting a couple nibbles, I thought I better make sure everything is still ok with it since it hadn't been in the system for a couple of months. Wow....it sounds so good. The main reason I wanted to go with something else is because the system was in a smallish room that tended to be hot anyway and the tubes just added too much heat. (I've since moved everything to a much bigger, more open space.)

It's amazing how much bass this thing gets out of my Maggies. I had to check to make sure I didn't plug the subs, Anyway, has anyone else had second thoughts at the last minute? Mostly, I am just trying to recoup some of the cost of the new piece. Not sure if I am trying to talk myself into still selling it or keeping it. LOL

if you miss something you sould, just buy it back... sometimes journeys come full circle, but the trip was worth taking to fully appreciate what you had

Yep...I can think of a few things I wish I still had.  On the other hand, I can't keep everything.

Yes, happens quite often. Like you, I sold things to help offset the cost of something else, as this stuff is not cheap however, there are certain things I wish I hung onto. There have been times I got cold feet selling something on Ebay, despite having like 10 watchers...still ended up pulling the plug on the listing and keeping it. Recently, it was a fully automatic new in the box Thorens td240 turntable. I own many turntables, but none of them are fully automatic. I had it plugged in to test it out, and it is truly fascinating to watch it in operation. It is a very elegant looking turntable as well. I’m happy I kept it hanging around. Sold some other things only to buy them back again. I guess the moral is to follow your heart.

@decooney    and I still have The Little Cary!

It sure was nice to have it to fall back on when The Big Cary went down a couple of years or so ago.

the initial reason for sale is gone.

keep what sounds best, sell the other even if it is the new one, forget about what you paid,
