One should never get hung up on any one piece of gear, IMO. Having said that I could never sell my amplifier, no wait my turntable, stop! Its my speakers, or my phono stage...aaahhhh. Terrible question!
Thinking my Simaudio W5 power amp will be with me for many years to come. It really doesn't add any flavour, just lets whatever's behind it come through in a large way.
It's not that it's great, but I've got a 40-year-old Stanton gyropoise turntable in my studio system. I seldom use it and it has a fairly fresh stylus (you cannot replace the cartridge in it!) so it's probably going to remain here as long as I do. FWIW I have another, better TT in my main system.
