Throwing your gear under the bus

Have you ever had a piece of gear/wire that you knew was outstanding and then one day you decide to throw it under the bus only to find your self retrieving the same gear later down the road and wondering why you did such a thing?.

A full loom of JPS Aluminata wire was in my system only to be tossed under the bus because of upgradites. Now I am picking up the pieces and going back to what I knew was my last wire purchase.

Any gear thrower's here?

Currently on my third pair of Meadowlark Kestrels. In a small room they sound so right but they are such simple little speakers I keep thinking I can get better sound from a newer design. This pair I have now ain't going anywhere no matter what.

I'm sort of sad I sold my Acoustic Energy Aegis Ones. They're not an expensive speaker, a little hard to find is all. Don't do rock dynamics, just laid back... and easy to listen to. Have not found any speaker for the price as easy to listen to. Thought I had to sell 'em but for the little they cost, what was I thinking?

OTOH I almost sold my Apogee Mini-DAC and I'm really glad I didn't. OK I could have paid for new speaker cables with the money but who cares. It sounds lots better than the newer and cheaper Apogee Duet and it makes my computer system sing.
