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?

B&K Pro10 Pre and ST-140 power amps with a pair of Mirage M760s. I purchased these in the later 80s. Have also run more than half a million dollars' worth of audio gear into and out of my home. I still not sure why I set them aside as they still sound wonderful. 

My Sony 32 inch CRT TV. 25 years old and works as good as the day I bought it. Perfect for watching old shows that just look better with a little pixelation. It has  stereo sound so it qualifies here.

Devialet D-Primere -

I bought it many years ago. 

It was my first 'hifi' system and it sound great and may be the most attractive piece of stereo equipment ever made (even better than its successors).  It is so attractive that it may be in museums at this point. 

It was advanced for that time, D amp with streaming, before streaming was so popular (we listened to radio stations) / downloadable Firmware - simply great.

@re-lar-kvothe I owned the B&K Pro10 and ST140 for 25 years. Purchased in 1985. Drove an original pair of Vandersteen Model IIs.  The B&K combo was superb at the price point and beyond.
