What's the best and/or favorite piece of equipment you've owned? And do you still own it?

My favorite piece(s)  are  (and I still own them) the Martin Logan Ethos lousdpeakers and Soudsmith Paua cartridge.  As far as speakers go, electrostats are my favorite and will replace them with another set of electrostats.  I'm currently eyeing MUR Audio SP1's.  These two pieces make my rig sound great.

The KLH Nine full-range electrostats I bought in 1991 from HiFi Classics in Far Rockaway, NY. $500 - and a major bargain! Still have them in occasional use along with the pair of Futterman H3aa OTL amps.

My favorite is my pair of Watkins Stereo WE-1s speakers, they are large but have such a sweet musical sound, even at 37 years old.

The ‘68 Les Paul Custom I lost in a burglary during college....still hurts.

After that, I’d have to say the Thiel 3.6’s.  I down-sized years ago, but I had a lot of joy thanks to Thiel.

Krell ksa100. All original. Getting it recapped this week after 30yrs. Can’t wait. 

Pioneer pl-630tt with ortofon black mm cart. Still works and sounds great. 
Things sure were made well back then.

I’ve had quite a bit of gear come and go but my Janszen zA2.1 have remained and will always. The best electrostatic sound in a WAF friendly package.
