Your Forever Pieces? What and Why?

Quick starter.

Nakamichi 582 cassette deck.
Owned about 2 years( that's a lifetime for me so far lol)

No it’s not a Dragon but it fits my needs of playing my large collection of pre recorded tapes perfectly.
I will NEVER need anything better.

That’s my keeper.

Apogee Duetta II loudspeakers, bought new for $2,700 in 1987, and restored in 2008 by Rich Murry of True Sound Works, of Minden, Nevada. What can I say? I love the Apogee sound

1987? Very nice timeframe there!
Wonder if ANYBODY has anything they have owned longer... That is still being used of course.

Ariston RD11S TT. Bought new in 1977 without arm ($280). First arm: SME 3009. Next arms: JH Formula 4, Keith Monks, Lustre GST-1. Present arm is a Grace 707. Denon DL103. TT mat: Hiraoka Diskmat SE-22 (bought new in '77 - $20). Still a wonderful sounding TT!

Tandberg 3014A x 2 , Tandberg TD20A SE and Nakamichi 1000ZXL  and my heavily modified EAR 834p phono stage. These four pieces are irreplaceable for me and they've been part of my system for the past 5 yrs.
