What Product Did You Overspend On?

Buying my used ML20.6's. After a year they died, sent them to the Service Bench who keeped them for 14 months and sent them back to me (they said they where fixed), after 5 hours of play they died again. Since i live in Alaska the shipping is VERY expensive so the whole thing cost me about $10K+, then if you add the ML380 I had to go with the 20.6's, it just makes me cry, I still weep sometimes.
But you never know what might happen. It was a GREAT system while it lasted.

New vinyl.

audiophile CDs with poor musical contents ...

a couple of eight gauge inductors from North Creek Music.

Well, my Bel Canto ref1000 mkII amps are my biggest splurge, even used. I might have gotten close or similar performance for less perhaps, but I was deterined to not cut corners iwth my latest amp purchase and I cannot really find any fault with the BCs, so I feel like I got what I was looking for.

The choice of almost everything else in my system was somewhat value oriented.

Maybe I splurged a bit on the OHM 5s at the time but I was also looking for my last pair of speakers for a while when I bought them and that has worked out as well. Plus I did get a very good deal on them.

I wonder if anyone who dropped some really big bucks on a particular item here will fess up?
