RE: I find myself thinking of the good gear I let go and now I want some of it back

Posted by Quint on August 13, 2016 at 11:46:38:
I've had several sales I regretted making, but probably the biggest one was a pair of Mike Elliott-built Aria custom 350 hybrid monoblocks. They were sweet amps, but, alas, the tax man came calling with a rather large tab, and they had to go. My current amp is a strikingly synergistic match with my speakers, so in the end it was all good, but I still have fond memories of those Arias. But I've heard that Elliott is retired and not servicing his old products anymore, so that would've been an issue had I kept the amps.
