In Reply to: What Purchase Was Your Biggest Waste of Money? posted by dsockel on May 4, 2007 at 16:20:50:
Won't state the details, but I bought the cartridge new, it was a lemon, didn't play it that much, had it sent overseas for repair, and ultimately sold it at a huge discount. And then had to reimburse the buyer even more after he claimed the cartridge I sold him logged over 3000 hours of play time and had shorted coils.... (I don't think I played it more than 75 hours.)Along with the Audiolab 8000T tuner, it was my worst audio nightmare.
From a purely sonic standpoint, my biggest waste of money was for a BEL 1001 MkII amplifier. Sounded worse than an Onkyo TX-8500 receiver (amp section) I had at the time.
