* Buying a Musical Fidelity buffer because it had a tube in it.
* Buying a Linn Sondek LP 12 because I believed the Linn cult members.
* Buying anything because it was listed in Stereophile's "Recommended Components"
Dumbest reason you were drawn....
What is the dumbest reason you were drawn to consider a piece of equipment? After all, before you've gotten to hear any of this stuff you've got to decide WHAT you're going to audition and/or buy. So come on, swallow your pride and spill!
I'll go first: It was that damn blue light in my 5.1 and 7.1 Citation amps. I was about 25 when I first saw their equipment and I thought it looked wayyyy cool! I decided that I just had to have that slick looking piece of equipment. So I gave them a listen looked into the build quality, etc. and liked what I heard. When Citation went belly up and I had more money a few years later I jumped. However, if it wasn't for that stupid blue light I don't think I'd have given the Citations nearly as much attention..... I feel like I've got the brain of a moth.
