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.  😉

My beloved KEF Ref 105.2s...

Two wall sockets next to each other, one always on, one switched so it can turn on/off the table lamp.

Plug the amps into the wrong outlet (switched). 

Turn off the lights. Oops, the music disappears. 

Double oops... turn the juice on right away. 

Pop. What is the sound of two woofer baskets bending? 

Woofs no longer made. Very rare... 

Thankfully just one of several systems so music is still in the air.  

Search, find and replace. Works perfectly. 

Now have several working spare woofs in inventory.. 

Oh, well... 

Yup, just stuff as George Carlin might say...
