What has been your costliest mistake in this hobby?
Buying a power amp on reputation alone. Bought an Audio Research GS150 thinking it had to be great. It was ok but hated the non responding power meters. I'd sell it in a heart beat if I could. 
Amps with meters ...
I have an ARC GS150 with meters. But they are linear and don't move at all at lower levels. They should be log meters, like what Mac uses. But the printed scales on the meters are log. I told ARC about their error but they ignored my comment 
Tubes vs Solid State
I have a set of B&W 802Ds. The impedance curve is rediculous, dropping to 3 ohms in mid base. You need high power SS amp to drive these. But if you like the tube sound, there's a good compromise. The Cary SA-500.1 monoblock can drive the 802's...
