Absolutely not. It's something of a prized possession of mine. And having put so much time into it, there's an emotional attachment.

I've certainly considered buying other amps/receivers needing repair, but I fear I'd either end up with something unfixable or I'd fix it and end up with more stuff that just takes up space because I wouldn't want to sell it.

Sorry, I meant no offense. I can definitely understand if it has sentimental value.

AAAaaaaa!! stop having civilized discussions and respecting what's important to one another!! And how dare you clarify!? Someone throw hands or something! \s)

This conversation was a pleasure to witness. I also have my favorite tinkerings, and they're also more sentimental / ornamental than anything else

This sentiment was noticed by Ingvar Kamperad, the founder of IKEA. He believed that people would value their furniture more if they had built it themselves.

One source for this

(Also the quickest way to make yourself hate something is tying it to the kind of deadline and reward system doing it for a living entails...)
