Your Forever Pieces? What and Why?

Thanks for your info on the 202MkVII Al. Good to know

I just wanted to let R2R and cassette deck owners know that there is another alternative to repairing these decks at a (probably) lower cost than Soundsmith or Willie Herman. I’ve used New Jersey Factory Service with great results for my R2R, but I see Russ does cassette decks as well.

M&K. 150 THX series speakers: front, center, and surround along with the MX-5000 subwoofer. Used for home theater only.

Plinius 8150 used in my mountain house music system.

i purchased all the above new in the last century.

uberwaltz, don't be embarrassed. New isn't always better.

I meant I was somewhat embarrassed that I do not have any really older pieces I have owned forever like a lot of members appear to.

All my McIntosh gear are forever pieces.  They have to be as I am now retired and on a very fixed income.
