If you could travel back in time, what would you tell yourself as a young audiophile?

Not to sell my Kharma 3.2 and gryphon Diablo 15 years ago, I should have integrated two subwoofers instead.

1) Buy a few Marantz 7s and 9s and put them away in a closet for 30 years.
2) Buy a Goldmund turntable. I owned mine for 30 years. Of course, 29 of them were spent figuring out how to use it, but man, I loved that thing.
3) Buy season tix at Carnegie and keep upgrading by donating as a patron until you get into the center Tier 1 boxes. That might take 30 years also.
4) Tell your children that if they go near your turntable, you will sell them to buy a new one. It works very effectively.

I should have read more books on how to build your own devices sooner. would have saved me a lot of money and frustration.

P.S
don't buy the b&w 801,it does not work in this small room . stubborn
P.P.S
when you stop working at telefunken, not just a few tubes but take all you can get.
 
An audio speaker manufacturer told me that if I wanted to follow his path, the best way to make a million dollars as an audio manufacturer was to spend two million dollars. :eek:
