Chareles1dad,Your subject would hit a home run for a thread!, never seen that topic before, and it makes alot of since, what does not make since is to why you would say anything about melbguy1?, who cares what he may say that you do not like, as a member since 2012, I have had to learn the very hard way not to coment on everything, I bite my tongue, I have been through alot as a member of audiogon, I always have liked you, and enjoy your post, to keep your self out of trouble with audiogon, it's likly best to not frustrate people on these threads, I am the worst one to do so all the time, guess what, I was moderated for a year!, I know you do not want that do you?
Your most disappointing purchase or audition?
I've had a few.
bought a Naim Nait 3. Loved it in the store. Returned it within a week- way forward at home
Brought home some CJ preamp to audition perhaps 22 years ago. Noisy as anything and a turn off transient destroyed a tweeter (though years later i bought a CJ 17LS2 which I thought was the finest preamp I ever heard in my home)
Auditioned a VPI table (HW19) in a store- the store just could not get the belt to stay on. Bought a Rega instead. This was in perhaps 1990.
Fortunately, I never really experienced buyers remorse say 6 months or more after settling on a piece of gear.
Finally, there have been too many speakers that got stellar write ups which I just didn't care for.
