You are invited on a "trip down memory lane".

This thread is, of course, mainly hyperbole (or less kindly B.S.).  But that said, what is an item from your sound system over the course of your journey that you would most want to have back?  I have sold some that I, likely, should not have.  Mine would be the CJ ART pre-amp and the Magnepan MG-20....a distant 3rd and mostly nostalgia would be the Dahlquist DQ-10 speakers.

Pass Labs Aleph 30, AES AE-3 DJH tube preamp, Thorens TD125 MkII w/ SME 3009 improved arm, and Altec Lansing Model 15 loudspeakers would be at the top of my most missed list. Would like to hear how these products fair today.

My parents had bought an old Montgomery Wards Airline portable record player. You know the kind with the swing open attached speakers. They would obtain albums, throw away the cardboard covers, handle the records like they were shuffling cards, and store the bare records all piled up in a cupboard. I have NO idea how I became an audiophile.....

I built my first radio in grade school. 1968. Something like that. No idea what happened to it. But man that would be cool to have.

I should have kept my Dynaco A25 speakers...just the right size, nice cabinet, I could have experimented with drivers and x-over. Oh well. 1970s nostalgia maybe.
