# 2 would be my Nakamichi 680Z. Also the dumbest audio mistake I've ever made. New Year's Day 1995. Yes, I was hungover but that's no excuse. Was outside putting a new battery in my van. Came inside to switch tapes without thinking to wash my hands first. Frozen transport. Not fixable. It currently resides in my attic. Just looks too good to throw away.
As you have moved on, are there any items you remember fondly...or most fondly?
As many on this site, I have had much in the way of the "high-end". There are, fortunately, many good items I could list that are still in my head/heart....but the two that come to mind quickly are the Thiel CS-1.5 and the Conrad Johnson ART pre-amp.......If I go back to the beginnings the DQ-10 would be one of the most impactful to my audio/hi-fi experience/knowledge. I don't really have the space right now, but when I do, I may put together a "retro" system for fun and nostalgia....you know, kind of like doing a '57 Chevy two door hardtop with a repaint, updated suspension/brakes and a 350 horse 327 with a Muncie 4-speed.....etc... Although a 288 GTO and tickets to a live performance in Copenhagen would be O.K. too.
