Any regrets in selling gear?


By its nature, our hobby/passion for gear encourages buying and selling gear, hoping to land on a final purchase, that point of satisfaction where you can sit back and just enjoy the music without any niggling issues about there mechanics of it all.

That said, is there any gear that you came to regret selling?

A few items that are pricy to replace now (some would require refurbishing).

Roger's LS3/5a's purchased in 1978 for $500 + the cost ($130 ?) of a 1-way plane ticket from London to LAX for an X-Girlfriend.

Nakamichi 700ZXE that I paid $75 for in perfect condition and sold 20 years ago for $600, or so, as we recently unearthed two large boxes of my wife's cassette tapes.

I do miss my  vintage Dynaco and Mac tube gear, but much prefer DH/SET to them (mainly miss the PAS preamps when running tape/line through them - phono was so-so).

I have  Bottlehead Paramours  paired with vintage Elac S517 wide band drivers in Acousticraft cabinets.

I've only used an Audion Silver Night 300B DH/SET, an Audion single ended EL34 amp, and early Decware single ended amp  and a few vintage single ended EL84 amps @ home.

I keep planning to go with a simple SS setup with more traditional speakers, but doing so keeps getting put on the back burner.
