Components that you regret parting with?


Just wondering if any of you have had a component that you sold/traded or that stopped working? For whatever reason, you no longer have it and wish you still did? Could you give the component, the reason you no longer have it, and what you liked about it. If you care to comment. I have had several components that for financial reasons or the upgrade bug, that I have parted with and wish I had not later on. Due to the rare nature of some of them I have not been able to purchase them again. It dose not have to be expensive or rare, just an item that has a special place in your heart for whatever reason, that you now regret parting with. If you were able to purchase it again, that would be great to know that as well.

B&W CDM1 NT Monitors. Lost them in divorce. Powered by NAD C370 Integrated Amp. Wonderful Combo for TV/DVD System. Replaced them with inexpensive, used Tannoy Reveal Monitors which are not bad but not nearly as refined as the B&W's, nor do they look as nice. The B&W's looked great in my living room, matched the hardwood floors, etc. I kept the living room!
FM Acoustics Res. Series 611 amp, Res. series 244C preamp. To get FM now, you gotta be a millionaire or billionaire.

Really just for nostalgia:

Large Advent speakers

Boston Acoustics A40 speakers

NAD 3020 amp

Dual CS505 tt

I guess I am dating myself :)

Don't sell it. The saying its a keeper is real. My NAD2200 and 1155 will be with me forever. Has given me great sound first purchased and has been serviced 3yrs ago. Nearly shocked its still so good from 1986.

Mostly speaker regrets....  PSB Platinum M2.  I miss those.   For nostalgia sake I wish I had my mint APT Holman Preamp and APT 1 amp.   Sansui AU9900 Integrated, my first real component I bought when I was 15.
