Any regrets in selling gear?


By its nature, our hobby/passion for gear encourages buying and selling gear, hoping to land on a final purchase, that point of satisfaction where you can sit back and just enjoy the music without any niggling issues about there mechanics of it all.

That said, is there any gear that you came to regret selling?

I miss my PSB M2 Platinum.     Great speakers that i made the mistake of selling while looking for it's replacement.  I sold them and bought Revel M106, a nice speaker but those PSB were better.   They were the last PSBs to be made in Canada.     Probably one of the few things I'd buy again.  

Just sold Klipsch rc64 center and replaced it with a much smaller and older rc62…older rf82s too…happy buyers, no regrets at all…have TOO MUCH STUFF…need to sell more

Quad 57’s. 27 years ago, my (then new) wife encouraged me to “get rid of those room heater looking things”.

We are still happily married but I regret daily, the loss of my beloved (non-WAF) Quads.

I have, on occasion, sold something that turned out to be more engaging than the thing that replaced it. It usually takes me a while before I notice whether I’m present with the music or drifting away, or wanting to read a magazine. 
 

I think my path has been zig zag, with some good choices and some choices that were not so hot. But I think I’m in a good spot, with equipment that makes me focus on the music and how it makes me feel. And I have no doubt that I’ll replace some of it down the line with something that doesn’t work as well on my heart. It’s okay - I mostly like the journey.

After 26 years I still kick myself daily for selling: Roksan Xerxes/Rega/Grado/bluepoint, most of my vinyl collection, YBA electronics, Original Totem One, and Martian Logan Sequel. I'm still traumatized.
