"Giant Killer" The things legends are made of.

There is no way that I will ever be able to be cutting edge in this hobby. But there are some "timeless" pieces of gear that will stand the test of time for years to come.
What are the giant slayers that you have had. Help me please separate the myth from legends.
Like good music, is there any gear that will live forever?

I agree with Beemer & ad any old Mac tube equipment. The MR71 FM tuner compares, no, make that BEATS the current stuff for thousands less.

AR3a speakers still sound great. As do many of the Ohm brand.

The KLH Model Eight system has a nice sound to it also.

I'll second the JVC 1050 cdp. Oddly, I heard the 1050 in a system with a pair of vintage McIntosh tube monos.
