Here are my Top Snafus that I've done. I know it is common sense to you all but it wasn't for me at the times.
1) Speaker placement and Room Treatments for your listening space.
2) Getting caught up in the hype/reviews/marketing of a product.
3) Rushing into buying something.
4) Overspending on repairs of vintage gear.
5) Rushing into making repairs/upgrades of vintage gear without doing some legwork first. Cleaning the item yourself first, doing a lot of critical listening, researching more on the net, etc etc.
6) Spending money on nicer equipment only to neglect spending some money on decent cabling.
7) Foolishly trusting pro audio techs or part stuffers to repair home audio gear.
