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.
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 bought a Rega P10 turntable last year. A beautiful demo from the merchant . As soon as I plugged it in, I knew that it was not for me. My old Heybrook TT2 upgraded with an Alphason HRS-100 sounded better overall . Luckily I was able to sell it back within a month without loosing money since I had such a good price on it. Was able to find a used fully upgraded LP12 since and I have no regrets. A bit more expensive but much better. |
Yes, I regretted selling my LP12 turntable five years ago. It wasn’t too much of problem because I was able to buy another better one for not a massive amount more money. The bad part of it was that I also sold my records. I wish I could buy them back for the same amount as replacing them would cost many times what I got for them. |
Nice, that Paramour kit looks like fun to build. By chance did you get a chance to directly compare them to Dennis’ recent 45/2A3 amp then? My buddy has the 45 amp with horn speakers, likes it quite a bit. However he's on to other amps now as well craving just a tad more drive. Boy those Elac 517s are rare these days and bet that sounds nice paired up with your Paramours. Keepers for sure! :)
