Your Forever Pieces? What and Why?

B&W 801, purchased in 1976. When they were gifted they sounded terrible, flat. I understand B&W designed them to be purposed as studio monitors. Fortuitously, I learned of a company, North Creek, that made crossovers (40 lbs of copper, each!) specifically to overcome the speaker’s shortcomings. After installing the crossovers they became extraordinary. I pretty much use them everyday in my second system.

You are a fortunate soul to own that CJ ART3 :)I have always wanted to hear this legendary pre-amp.
Happy Listening!

I guess I should add my TT to this list as after contemplation it is going nowhere.

Nottingham Analog Spacedeck.

I always wanted one while I lived in England but could not afford it.

Funny thing is their factory is just 6 miles from where I grew up!

May have other TT  along the way but will be keeping this one.

Mirolab, I just noticed your post. You may want visit North Creek’s web site, www.northcreekmusic.com. It has a detailed, interesting write up of your and my beloved 801s.
