Can we hear from those who essentially repurchased previous system?


Are you someone who had Speaker A or Amp X, sold it on the proverbial merry-go-round yet repurchased that same piece of gear--only to build a system around it?

If ’Yes" then...

What was the piece (type/make/model)?
Did the product that brought you back do something a less expensive/more expensive product did not do or that it did wrong?

I used to have that same Technics turntable,mated with a little Pioneer receiver and off-brand speakers(paralex).I recently bought the receiver again and am planning on finding the turntable but probably different vintage speakers to put in a guest bedroom.Not high rez by any means but it was a sweet little system.
Thank you for the responses!  I was curious about this and love hearing the anecdotes. 

I should've guessed so about the Quads!  That makes total sense. 

I also love the term "recidivist gear"!
I’ve done that with the Harbeth P3ESR. After trying more expensive speakers including Harbeth, I went back to the P3ESR. There is something about this little speaker that just does it for me. I am off the speaker merry-go-round for sure!
