whats the biggest mistake you made?

ever sell a peice of gear then realize you made one big mistake or find a better way to run it after its allready gone?

for me it was the mcintosh mc2102 tube amp that wasnt cuttin the mustard or so i thought,since then ive tried many amps & none have gave me the same feeling as that amp.

most of the changes ive made over the years have been good or atleast i could live with them but that one change really taught me alot,im taking things alot slower nowdays & taking the time to hear the different gear i bring in before rushing to decisions.

Yeah, my mistake was selling a BAT VK-31SE. I ran through 6 preamps from Mark Levinson, Krell, VAC, CJ, Threshold, etc, 'til I realized that I'd made a mistake. I did recover after time, and the story ends happily, because now I have a BAT VK-51SE.
Sometimes you're not sure what is doing what in a system, good or bad, and if you pick the wrong one to change, it can sure foul things up.
To help make sure that doesn't happen again, I now buy the 'new' item, and don't sell the replaced item until I'm sure it's been replaced, and the sound is better, not just different.
