the one that got away - how do you handle grief?

Eventually, you will find them again. I have made the same mistake. I thought I had bid enough to win, only to find out that I lost because I didn't watch the auction on the last thirty minutes.

I know about grief, I sold pieces I should have kept and kept pieces I should have sold. I'm happy to say that this no longer happens.

Day by Day.

Happy Listening!

I've got a few speakers on my bucket list that I ultimately let get away because they're farther away than I'm willing to drive to and then I promise myself Next time! and on it goes. More recently I'm noticing things like component synergy, sizing speakers to room, placement and how the listening room has a tendency to give speakers a similar tonal balance that takes away a little bit of that thing that set them apart from the rest. I'm winding down my quest for the holy grail.

About 12 years ago or so I had a pair of reference 3A deCapo's that I loved and loved and then decided to go into floor standards and of the next 4 or 5 years just went down one unhappy experience after another. And then I got a chance to obtain another pair of reference 3A decapos about 4 years ago and have no urge to ever look back again.

Well, I guess if I could afford audio notes. But I can't.

No such thing as the 'one that got away'...there are hundreds of other options.
