I wasn’t happy with the Chord Mojo 1 (wasn’t bad but didn’t wow me as I had hoped) and ended up selling it again, fortunately for the same price as I had bought it so no harm done.

I’ve only had buyers remorse when I buy new. It loses so much of its value. Getting a great deal on a used product is so exciting. Also, if you get bored of it you won’t lose out on a ton of money when you sell.

If it makes you feel any better, I just upgraded to the R700s from the RTI 8 floor standing speakers (purchased 10 years ago, but they’re an old speaker model). I had zero problems with the RTI 8 speakers until one day the low end extension caused some chuffing.I did some research and ended up getting the R700s… and they’re great.

I’m still in my 90 day trial and my biggest concern is the needle like come on the tweeter. The thing sticks out way too far and is at risk of breaking when I eventually move. Aside from that, no regrets at all. These speakers sound great, produce truly “full” sound, and even my SO can tell the difference.

no, because i dont sell old gear, just buy new gear

I was recently disappointed with my c399 purchase. I spent a ton if time trying to love it but it sounds so boring. No amount of calibration would make it engage me. Super powerful unit tho. Highly rated but not for me. I think I realized I’m not an audiophile.

Buyer’s remose I’ve had:

• Not spending enough time researching competing products, and realizing I could have gotten something better.
• Getting something new and having it not be as good as the old one, or at least not significantly better.
• Not researching retailers enough, and paying too much.
• Setting a budget, and later realizing I should have spent more on a higher end product.

Now I look to mid-high end products, and spend a lot of time researching.

I’ve been upgrading for over 40 years.

Remorse no.

Pleasure. Yes

I did have buyers remorse For spending so much and because I could have gotten nice stuff used Also i try to not think about it and try do it as a “investment” into my future something I can look back knowing I will have it for many years and not like my cars that I switch them every 6 months

“This will be my endgame.”

Until Black Friday at least.

Almost always end up missing my last set of speakers.

Zero. You live once. Enjoy it.

The idea of replacing Den audio speakers with Polk almost seems sacrilegious but those polks are fantastic speakers. As far as the buyers remorse is it more like missing an ex or guilt like you’ve just frivolously wasted money?

I’ve gotten buyer’s remorse from going to more complicated systems that were over-engineered… AV pre-processor going to a preamp with HT bypass going to a separate power amp, and it was just too complicated for the family to use. Went back to something much simpler in the end, and happier for it.

The trick to avoiding buyer’s remorse is keeping the old gear and making another listening spot. Then when your new stuff doesn’t sound as good you can get rid of it before it’s too late!
