Other than my mid fi HT gear, which i
Iiked but always has horrible resale due to format and connectivity obsolescence, the following are my worst purchases:
Cheap BDplayers- my 1st Blueray player, Samsung , sounds horrible on music and is worth nothing on resale market.
Tom Evans Groove - lived with it for about 7 yrs, never happy with the sound and could never get rid of the hum picked up from my pre amps transformer.
2yrs after buying it used, one channel went out and the really wierd US distributor charged me $900 to have Tom fix it, plus i had to send it back to England myself.
Finally bit the bullet and bought a Zesto which fixed the hum and was significantly better sounding. Even tho I bought groove at 50% off $4000 retail, I still took a 35% loss to sell it not including the $900 repair.
Tom generally has a very good rep, so don't want to bash his company, but the Groove was not a good fit in my system.
