Your Worst Audio Breakdown


Checking out the forum today and I saw mention of a posters' 1st breakdown, and another about a fella with a broken tape deck wondering about fixing it. He than tells us that 3 other parts of his rig are in need of repair (whoa!). Got me to thinking, in close to 30 yrs of being in this hobby, I ruined a cartridge (my fault!) and I blow fuses on my amp from time to time. That's it! I'm wondering; am I just extremely lucky or what!?

Equipment failure is the nightmare of any audiophile, what's been your experience with gear breakin' down?

I'm not sure if it was the flames that came out of both sides of my Marantz amp in 1970, or the time I burned up a Plinius amp that subsequently blew all the drivers in my Dunlavy III speakers, or is it now when my Aesthetix Callisto pre-amp flashed popped and died. It is one vacation in California while I stay in the cold, with an unknown price to be paid.
