well I tried to take my McIntosh integrated amp off the top of an Onkyo receiver now these were approximately 7 feet off the ground on the top shelf of my closet in the process of trying to just get the Onkyo out cuz I was going to give it to my brother the Macintosh slipped started to fall I tried to catch it with my other arm and didn't do it it landed on the corner smash the glass the front end of the mac and it made me sick I have not tested it yet to see if it's okay I'm either too scared or just don't want to know
What has been your costliest mistake in this hobby?
For example :I recently learned a hard lesson- I accidentally ran voltage thru my $3000 MC cartridge (kiseki purple heart). I have a TT with 5 prong connector and a phono cable with a 5 prong connector. I accidentally swapped where they plugged into and ran electric thru the tonearm into the cartridge. It was a stupid - not thinking- hasty mistake. When I corrected the problem the cartridge was fried. An avalanche of four letter words followed!
So what has been your biggest and/or costliest mistake?
