Yes, there are a couple of things I sincerely regret. Another being a mid-
60s vintage McIntosh preamp and power amplifier coupled with a Thorens
turntable and Ortophon cartridge. And yes, I've seen the prices on those
matched power tubes. :-(

The biggest loss to be, though, was a Mason & Hamlin reproducing 7' grand
piano that I had professionally refinished, and that I personally restored
on the inside, including the complete reproducing mechanism. I foolishly
sold that for an incredibly small amount of money. At the time I had no
idea what it was worth. I sure wish I had it today.

But moving right along, I'm quite happy with my current stereo and piano.
