The Shortest Time you kept a new piece for ??


Mine: A McIntosh 6850 integrated. Received delivery on Monday, couldn't stand the ''Christmas tree'' look, and unfortunately, it did sound very average ( it replaced a Sonic Frontiers Power 2 amp and SF preamp, tough competition).

So...in on Monday, got rid of it 2 days later with a local sale to a happy camper ! Call me impatient!

Come to think of it, I did purchase a Magnum Dynalab MD-208 ''Class A'' Recommended component. It apparently had a super tuner AND a top notch electronics amp by Sim Audio. Turns out this ''Class A'' item had the lower economy Celeste parts from SIM (not the Moon line). Sounded thin and edgy, although the tuner section was pretty good when connected on it's own to another amplifier.

Kept it a whole Saturday afternoon, and begged for the dealer to refund my money. Wouldn't, of course, so he gave me a Sim I-5 in return. Marginally better, but still not a good match. Kept THAT about a week. My purchase of the MD-208 gave me a final and expensive lesson about the mistake of buying gear off the smell of a great review....
