Regrets

Two years ago during spring cleaning I threw my Dad's old Sansui 1000X receiver into the dumpster. This was during the early stages of my becoming a devoted audio enthusiast when I was more interested in the latest gear and what my next upgrade would be. I grew up listening to this old workhorse, and my love of music reproduction blossomed because of it. The unit wasn't working perfectly and was in need of repair and refurbishment. Now that I've become a hardcore audiophile when I think back to that tragedy two years ago, I feel like having someone kicking me in the balls over and over. Really hard!

I regret giving up my old Altecs but I did keep the instructions that came with them. See www.hifilit.com/hifilit/altec/rules2.jpg

I remain,

My original Quads with Decca ribbons - replaced with Vandersteen 2Cs. Giant step backwards. But what I really wish I still had was my '67 Z-28 or my '40 Willys. Don

A pair of '36 Fords, a blue coupe and a black/red convert both with 3/4 race flatheads and manual am radios.

My Spica TC-50 were sold to a good friend, I gave him a Yamaha receiver and an NAD cd player. I suggested he buy a subwoofer to put with it, he bought a REL and immediatly I prefered the sound to my, then, new Thiel 2.2 Haven't seen him in years.
