Kit you regretted buying

My Naim Headline headphone amp, as I discovered that I really don't like to listen to headphones on my main system. It's been used less than half a dozen times, and is currently sitting in a box in the closet.

Yeah, I know I should sell it. The problem is that by the time I pull it out, polish it up, take a pretty picture, list it on one or more classifieds, etc., the time I've spent could exceed the potential sale price of the unit.

I regret buying all the old second hand hifi bangers over the years. They were either bust or put in a cupboard. Nostalgia is expensive.
 
I bought a Hadcock arm for my Micro Solid 1 years ago I could never set it up
successfully I wish I hadnt chucked it in the bin though.

If you're sure you don't want it, you can probably see if Tom Tom would buy it or take low ball offers and shift it without making much of an effort.

You probably are already aware of it, but I wanted to throw it out there all the same.
 
I am quite pleased to say that I barely have any regrets!

The closest was a Linn Linto I bought recently from a dealer. I had always wanted one. With the Ulrika upgrade these are becoming quite common. Paid £500 for it. A/Bed it when it arrived against my 640p. There was barely any difference and I do mean barely. So put in on ebay the same day it arrived - fortunately got £570 for it which paid all costs.

you must have had your felt mat round the wrong way
 
interesting thread. Surprising that over 30+ years I have had no regrets, really. All my equipment has sounded pretty good and most pieces have stayed in the system for at least a year. Have upgraded only when I stumbled across bargains.
