An audio component you just can't let go


What is a component you just can't seem to let go or sell even after you've already upgraded and not really using it anymore. What makes this component so special?

"right now it’s NOT my tv with the sound blasting election news for the 100th hour straight and I just want to shoot myself."

Please sir, turn your TV off and put the gun away.

Maybe I should stop hanging on to the past and just let go.

Dual 1019 changer -- it seemed a marvel of design and fabrication for its time.

Magnum Dynalab Etude FT101a tuner -- 3 meters and a digital display, sexy!

Nakamichi Dragon cassette deck -- it was the ultimate in its format.

Acoustic Research Amp -- its charming simplicity is still fashionably elegant.

Pass Labs Aleph 3 -- my little porcupine still sings beautifully.

And not to overlook, a pair of Thiel CS3.6 speakers -- still sound great in my library.
