LOL!!!

OK, so I admitted my mistake. Is that a sin to do so? In buying my Dyna solid state kits also back in '68, I remember the salesman pointing out a Marantz 7 preamp for a few dollars more, but I wanted the latest and greatest transistors....LOL!!!! Transistors were in, not tubes, at least if you read the magazines....

I bought the 901 series I while I was in high school after the flurry of ad copy which accompanied it's introduction in 1968. Hey, first time entering high fi components, I was easily swayed by ads, which was my point.

I made a mistake, a big one as it was. I admit it. But I am not ashamed to say I made a mistake.

But one thing I learned which was a blessing in disguise: I learned from the experience.

Source material? I own 4500+ LPs. Virtually the entire RCA LSC catalog and the Mercury Living Presence, all originals including many 1s and FR1 pressings.My Deccas are very numerous and many are original pressings, (I don't count the Treasury stuff).

I owned and predicted some stuff well before they ever made HP's vaunted Super disc recordings. This is nothing to brag about. I remember advising, unbidden, Robert Pincus of King LP's about certain recordings they should reissue. He was skeptical, particularly for the musical content, but later admitted that certain recordings he did try were a rather large commercial success and funded other projects....

To sum up, hindsight is 20/20. We all have such incidents in our past. I am not afraid to admit my errors.
