Bought, Sold, Rebought,Sold Bought again.


I am notorious for buying a piece of equipment,selling it for one reason or another, and after a few years pass I get the urge to purchase that same component again. I don't know if it is because I regreted letting it go, found it at a better price than I originally paid, or for nostalgic reasons. I've done this numerous times, most recently with the Sonographe SA-250, and the Superphon Revelation preamp. Anyone else experience this, thanks for contributing.

I have done the same many times. Re-bought an AZ WOW( didn't break in enough the first time) Re-bought an Audio Refinement Complete,( same reason as S7horton)By the way Seth, the Audio Refinement is so good that it is very finicky with power cords. Which one are you using? I was having good results with a Shunyata Sidewinder Gold, but sold it and recently bought a Chris VH Flavor 2 cryo'd w/ Furutech connectors and it is a spectacular combination. Very synergistic match that gives a wonderfully musical presentation. Also, I highly recommend if you are using a CD player, buy a pair of MAS Black interconnects,( the Grey was a little too lean for the ARC). They are on auction now for a mere $45.00 and you won't believe the naturalness and ease that the music flows through them. The entire musical spectrum has an ease and delicacy that is hard to believe for such an inexpensive interconnect.And last but not least, the soundstage will amaze you.I know this sounds like a commercial and I'll tell you up front that I am "only" a satisfied customer of MAS. The owner, Stu, is a great guy to deal with and will respond to your e-mails faster than lightning. He has something like 3 or 4 terminals throughout his house.I have tried many, many interconnects, and this skinny, little $45.00 interconnect has blown away many $500.00+ interconnects in my system. The ARC integrated also likes this little MAS Black.I'm going to buy a few more of the Blacks to put in my bedroom system.
Yes, Whatjd, you definitely belong in this Audioholics Anonymous thread.It takes a lot of willpower to admit what you have. Thanks for sharing.
I would love to hear the reasons why you all re-bought the same unit more than once.
