I love the excitement of he chase and when inspiration strikes, I often make a fast move, especially if there’s a ‘deal’ to be had. I got hyped on boutique SET amps without knowing anything about them too soon in my audio journey and impulsively bought a $6k demo 211 amp, followed by a $4k matching pre to power my ill-advised klipsch forte iiis (bad match for my room). I had crappy digital sources then (chromecast, then raspberry pi) and sold the 211 and pre for big loss a year ago before really bringing the system up to their level. Still curious how good they really were/are.
My recent impulse buys have worked out better (wells audio cipher dac, graham audio ls5/5s), thankfully, because I know more now about my tastes and synergy. But I like to jump on a deal and probably always will.
