What's the most money you spent on something without auditioning it, what was it, and did you regret your decision?

$500 Meier HA-2 MKII SE - I have no regrets whatsoever...I love this amp!

 

[PFKMan23]

Probably around $2000+, and no I didn't regret my decision.

$1100 on some Edition 9's. Waiting for them as we speak. Any moment now....

I really doubt I'm going to regret this one based on what I've read on Head-Fi.

[DJShadow]

£200 on a NAD C542. Would've spent full retail price if I had to.

 

[xenithon]

$1500 on a Shanling CD-T100 when it first came out. No regrets - it served me well during its tenure.

 

[Purgatos]

Probably about $200 on my Beyer DT880s.

Do not regret even a little!

 

[goldenratiophi]

$60 on SR60, don't regret it.

Also $350 on a Rega P1, which still hasn't shipped

But I don't expect myself to regret it

all my stuff was bought without auditioning
except maybe the sony v6 because i've used em at the live105 studio

I buy most everything (electronics or not) based upon etensive research. I can't think of anything I have purchased based upon auditioning.

I guess the highest pirced single item I've purchased without auditioning in the electronics world is about $1,000 for my receiver (I purchased at half price when "next years" model came out). I've also purchased a $2,000 bed (love it 6 years later), a $1,600 treadmill, etc etc all without auditioning.

Like many already, nearly all my purchases are without auditioning; however, the only headphone I've purchased off pure speculation was pre-ordering the E500's. To my pleasant surprise, I liked them--even after using the ER-6i's for awhile.

So, E500 - $499.99 Not too bad. At least I knew I could've always used the FOTM infection to re-sell them if I had needed.
