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?

I wish I still had all of my Hafler amps including a pair of DH-500's.  I also find myself missing my pair of DefTech BP7000SC's and Polk Audio SDA SRS's.  All sold to move out of California.

I can't get rid of tubes. I just stop listening over time. Need an 18inch sub.

REGRETS:

Pioneer RT-909.  During recordings, if I switched the output back and forth between source and tape monitor, could never hear a difference.

 

Proac D-15.  Luscious sound, could listen for days straight with no fatigue.  But my OTL tube amp at the time simply did not have the watts to drive the bass with the  control I wanted.

 

I’ve probably sold more gear than the average person here. But I do miss my Class A A/B Plinius amp. They don’t make them like that anymore. 

Regrets: Selling a pair of Sony SS-M9 and some Levinson amps

Close Runner up: My first "hifi" speaker...the great Pioneer HPM-150. It was in great shape too when i sold it. If i still had it, i would have attempted the GR mod and brought it up to speed a bit.
