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 too replaced a Counterpoint. The preamp starting producing distortion and the red waring lamps came on, so I used that as an excuse upgrade.

More dramatically, I dropped a speaker on to the pavement and busted the cabinet. Luckily Hales was still in business. If that happened now, I would not be as happy to upgrade.
