Buyer's remorse - your worst purchase?


We've all done it - you just want to kick yourself for spending the money on a stupid tweak or something. High expectations, great reviews, no results. Help me out as I am new to the audiophile world and feel myself being sucked in by ads and hype.

The two products I purchased giving buyers remorse were both purchased from dealers who lied in one case and failed to provide needed information in the other. Be sure to ask a lot of questions because many dealers use the net to unload outdated merchandise. Always ask if it is the latest model and request a serial number to make sure.Otherwise you may end up with an old model the has highly diminished value even if it does come with a factory warrantee. That doesn't mean it will sound bad and you won't like it but it may make a good value a bad investment. Bottom line, you will take a bath when you plan to upgrade. Luckily both products I got duped on were very good performers and I owned them for several years before moving on. I never did get over the feeling of being suckered however and that is not a good feeling.
