What’s a mistake you made by being impulsive?

I’m looking for cautionary tales to curb upgraditis.

After living with the same speakers and integrated for 20 years, I’ve now replaced everything in the last year. I even have a list of next steps that may or may not be necessary. Like I probably should finish mounting all my acoustic panels before getting a subwoofer. And do I really need a better pre if I only use one source and might eventually upgrade to a DAC with volume control? Did I mention I’m waiting for new speakers to ship? But SET amps sure are interesting and now I want one of those, too.

So when did you make a purchase and then immediately regret it because you decided to go a different direction?

I don’t believe you are extracting most of the benefit that the D.I.’s have to offer.
I’m fairly familiar with them having owned them for about 3 1/2 years.
They are not perfect, but they have the ability to perform pretty darn good overall, and are exceptional in certain areas. At their price point they are a great value.
I wonder what’s the likelihood that something is amiss with your pair.
