Costliest Brainfart


Yep.

I had one today.

While reorganizing my audio rack, with my TT still pretty on top, I decided I just had to level it just right.  And to make this happen, I decided I just had to place a block of wood under the spikes.  And since the block was fairly thick I just had to keep lifting the front higher and higher.  And higher.  
 

The table slid right off the back and came crashing down onto the floor.  Moerch UP4 arm, bent.  Karat 17d3 stylus, cocked to the side.  The table itself might be salvageable, but I was so disgusted with myself I didn’t bother looking.

A 2K+ brain fart.

Who needs vinyl anyway!

Please list your mishaps if for no other reason than to make me feel a bit better.  😉

I entered in my acoustic journey the day 23 years ago when my wife decided to clean the Beyerdynamic T990 i used from 1980 till 2000... My wife used his aspirator with a sudden inspiration toward cleanliness seeing my headphone... It suck up one of the driver...I did not divorced... 😁

My acoustic journey begun when i decided to try new speakers for my desk ( My tannoy were too big) and new headphones one after the other with no SATISFACTION ...

When i stumble on a decent not too big speakers , frustrated by my 9 headphones purchase, i begun to experiment with room acoustic... It takes me 5 years to succeed ...

I enjoyed my dedicated room for almost 2 years...

But i lost it selling my big house one year ago...

In the new small house happily i optimized the only headphones i was really in love with and some small box speakers...

AKG K340 and M-audio AV 40 speakers in a dedicated acoustic corner ...

I am happy again and heaven...Thanks to the Dr. Gorike who designed the K340 hybrid and to the chinese engineer behind this M-Audio active speakers marvel model AV40  at peanuts cost...

Anyone can act in a stupid way , times to times...

I did myself too as anyone here...

And it is not all about damaging a mere object...

Making people feel bad is worst than loosing an amplifier...

Because the negative emotion caused on others stay forever recorded on the cosmic memory field...Believe it or not....

An audio component lost means nothing... Few bucks...Anyway few thousand bucks perhaps... 😊
