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?
Decooney: I've only used an Audion Silver Night 300B DH/SET, an Audion single ended EL34 amp, and early Decware single ended amp and a few vintage single ended EL84 amps @ home. I keep planning to go with a simple SS setup with more traditional speakers, but doing so keeps getting put on the back burner.

@dekay funny you say that, re:
Last year I had a friend who worked at Threshold for Nelson upgrade a Pass/Forte’ true Class A 50w SS amp for me recently, having the same simplicity ideas. Matching F44 preamp too. Super nice for what it is. One small aspect is missing. I listened to it over the summer for like 90 days straight leaving it in place. Swapped the all-tube system back in, and quickly realized I’m not getting rid of my tube system for simplicity any time soon if I can help myself. The layering is just unmatched with my all-tube setup, likely same as yours. Maybe a simple smaller SS integrated to swap in once in a while. Won’t be doing any serious listening with that though, maybe for background music just to have it on, LOL. |
I had a Yamaha A-S3000 four amps ago. It was the silver face model. IMO that amp was the most beautiful solid state integrated amp out there. It sounded great with my Infinity RS4b speakers. |
