Come on own up don't be shy How many members on here are prone to making the odd impulsive / rash purchase. :spank: You know you should audition at home, in your own system, but you see something you just got to have. My name is Ken and I am an occasional impulsive buyer :D I did such a thing this week, I am old enough to remember the first time Audio Research hit the UK big time. Went to the old Harrogate show, listened to ARC, ever since I have wanted - (nay lusted over) and SP 10 Pre Amp. I saw one on Monday on a dealers website. Before I new what had happened it was mine. By the time I trade in my ARC LS2 line stage and sell my separate Phono Amp, I will either break even or make a small profit. Any other impulsive buys? Ken
