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 had just a day before received a pair of the new Stage Accompany Ribbon drivers

with very powerful Neodymium magnets. I opened the boxes and placed the new drivers on the floor. Face down so as to keep anything from getting into the ribbons. Plainars really.  So after cleaning up the packaging. I sat down to listen to some music. I live by myself and leaving the drivers on the floor was no issue.

After an hour or so, I looked down and said to myself " I had better put those new drivers somewhere more safe..heck I could damage them being on the floor myself". I pick up one of the drivers and place it on my work kitchen table..where I had a small project being done.  Small bolts siiting on the table. Not thinking I had a powerful magnet in my hand...just as I was about to take my hand off the driver...woooosh !!! In the blink of an eye  4-6 small bolts sucked up by the magnet go right through the ribbon...POOF !!!!  $450 gone, disappeared.  right..." I had better pick those driver up off the floor because I don't want to damage them... good job !!!!
