Major mistakes made in assembling your audio rig


What types of mistakes (in your estimation)did you make in assembling your audio rig over the last 5 to 10 years??

For example,...."I should have spent more money";

"I leaned too heavily on reviews and/or the advice of others";

"I should have just stuck with separates and not downsized??"

"I just can't get the thing to sound the way I want despite much time and effort"

Based on any or all of the above.... Have you ever considered selling your system and starting over, or concluded, it takes too much time and money, and is a hassle.... so regrettably I quit

Biggest mistake I ever made was going cheap on a digital scale to set up an expensive cartridge. Some cheap $10 weighs anything scale with a flat pan, instead of a $80 one specifically designed for stylus'.
Long story short, I snapped the cantilever setting up a brand new $5000 cartridge. 8 years later, I still have nightmares about that day....
