| Any regrets in selling gear? I just remembered another item I regret selling- a mint Nakamichi BX-300 that had been serviced and had a factory update done. | |
| Any regrets in selling gear? The only thing I wish I had held on to was a Bryston BHA-1 headphone amp. It wasn’t my only headphone amp so between the one I kept and the Bryston, I sold the Bryston. | |
