What would you never buy again? What would you like to own again?
Most of us here will have been through a quantity of Hi-Fi equipment. What is there that you moved on and thought, 'thank gawd that's gone' and what nice item did you sell and knew you should have kept?
Here's a few of mine.
Stuff I didn't get on with:
Dynaudio Contour 1.3 Mk.II speakers, highly regarded, but I just could not get them sounding quite right in my system.
The several Cambridge A60 and NAD 3020 integrated amps that came my way. Despite their enthusiastic following, I just found them dull and thick.
B&W speakers. I've owned a few older models and have heard many others, but B&W just don't 'click' with me.
Rega RB250 and RB300 tonearms. I just don't like the sound.
Items I should have kept:
All my Leak Stereo 20 power amps. They are gems that just make music.
Meridian 206 CD player. Again, it just makes music.
Tannoy Eaton speakers. A true classic dual concentric Tannoy in a manageable box. Had five pairs and still miss them.
Cartridges, Decca 4RC, Ortofon SPU and Technics EPC-305MC, they were superb!
A Trio KA-2000a amp. Dinky, unassuming little unit from the early seventies that sounds as good as a Sugden A21a.
I dare say I could add more.
It is impossible for anything digital to sound analogue, because it isn't analogue!
