whats the biggest mistake you made?

ever sell a peice of gear then realize you made one big mistake or find a better way to run it after its allready gone?

for me it was the mcintosh mc2102 tube amp that wasnt cuttin the mustard or so i thought,since then ive tried many amps & none have gave me the same feeling as that amp.

most of the changes ive made over the years have been good or atleast i could live with them but that one change really taught me alot,im taking things alot slower nowdays & taking the time to hear the different gear i bring in before rushing to decisions.

Sold my vintage 98' Shakti magic pebbles for a song! I've tried a dozen different bottles of'em since letting that one special bottle go, but they just haven't had the synergy the 98' vintage did. I'd give my left testacle to get those pebbles back!

Sold a Levinson 27.5 to finance a Parasound home theatre system; huge mistake. The Levinson is worth more than what I paid for it and the Parasound stuff is long gone and I took a bath on it.

Oh, left the Thorens TD160 Super mit Grace 707 Mk II (black) with the soon to be exwife; mistake. She decided she liked it once I left; she complained like hell when I spent some 500 bucks for the rig, new back in the late 80s.

Sold Bigjoe my Cary CAD-5500 preamp. I had to go find another one after I found I missed it in my system.

I suppose we've all sold gear, only to realize what a dumb idea it was to sell it. For me, it was a Mac MC7200 amp, and it wasn't gone a week and I could've kicked myself. I have since replaced that amp with another 7200, but it cost me some bucks to do it. Why are we never satisfied with what we have?!!
