Deja Vu All Over Again


Has there been any gear that you kicked yourself over and over for having gotten rid of? So much so that you just had to go back years later and buy it all over again?

For me it was a Yamaha receiver and a pair of Spica TC-50's. Now if I could just find a good deal on a decent pair of stands...

I see this thread has taken a twist, so I may as well chime in. For me it was my '67 Z28 Camaro, white with black stripes (one of about 500 made). Man that thing ran great and was a blast to drive and bang the Hurst/Muncie 4-speed all over town. Like a fool I sold it at about 100,000 miles because I thought it would depreciate in value after that. Man, was I wrong about that one!

But to make up for that blunder, I just bought a '95 Integra GSR with about 115,000 miles on it. I got it from a friend who is also an audiophile and it has a killer stereo system in it with 4, 8" Scanspeak Kevlar woofers, and Morel tweeters in the door panels. It's not quite as fast as the old Z28, but it handles great, has a 5-speed smooth as butter with a carbon-fiber shift knob, and the sound system is much, much better. Cost me about the same as my reference speakers. :)
I spent the first 25 years kicking myself in the ass for
selling my goodies.
The next 25 years not selling anything.
Now my wife kicks my ass for all the storage rentals.
Now where the hell did i put my butt cushion?,HHHHeeyyy!!!
im in the sweet spot here..edith........
Rockvirgo, you let go a XKE 3,8? I can identify with your plight...
I'm still mourning a a pair of 15-ohm Rogers LS3/5A, early serial number...
I still have nearly every piece of audio gear I ever bought,
including a 70s era Marantz tuner, preamp and power amp.All purchased new and still being used in a bedroom system. The one I did sell was a pair of JBL L200 Studio Masters with a 15 woofer and horn/lens tweeter. That I regret.

I also owned (and sold)a 62 Vette and a 66 Vette, both with 427s. Also, a 68 Camaro 396 with aluminum heads and a
4.56 to 1 gear ratio. What an idiot!

I won't make the same mistake with my vinyl. I still have every Lp I ever bought and will pass them on to my daughter who loves vinyl.
