Most enduring audio purchase


What has stuck with you through thick and thin, through upgrades, and through downsizing?

For me it's easy- bought in 1985, used frequently, works perfectly- my Zerostat!

I'm on my 5th set of speakers since then, been through 4 amps and on my 2nd integrated, 6th CD player, 3 tuners, 3rd turntable, 6th cartridge, 5 preamps, 2 phono pres, 5 headphones ( and I adore my current headphones & headphone amp combo) but my Zerostat (red) rocks!

I'll add some more- but my Zerostat still rules.

LP12 1st bought in 1998 and in its present form (Ekos, Lingo, Arkiv B) since 2000

Revel F30- owned since 2000. I do have aftermarket jumpers between the bi wire binding posts (Zu)

Those are 2nd tier most enduring

I also bought my tuner in 2000 but it was significantly modified by the factory in 2012 so that doesn't exactly count.

Nice to se others no aren't searchers and flippers
I bought a K&K phono preamp in 2003. I just sent it back last week for the latest updates (maxxed out status). I have upgraded everything else in the system at least five times since then (speakers many times that). It is the one component that I see no need to change out.

Shakey
I'm kind of thinking that if a product has been updated since purchase, it's not exactly been an enduring purchase. That's why I do not consider my tuner enduring- it was updated. I would think enduring would best be understood as 1- bought long time ago, and 2- is in its original form since purchased. For me the Zerostat is still the king of the hill for me.
