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.

Audio Research Ref 10. The most gorgeous sound. 

No longer own it. Heartbreaking.
My McIntosh XRT 28 speakers. They’re never leaving my system. I just love their sound and looks.

Another piece I’ve had for a long time is a Pioneer VSX 505S (bought in 1996 for $320). It’s not high end, but it’s my daily home office receiver that’s still running strong after 24 years.
I would have to say it is a tie between my newly refurbished all black Revox PR99 and my custom made Grandinote Mach 36 speakers (from Italy).  There is something quite soothing and magical watching those 101/2" gold reels spinning while generating great music through those giant speakers, each with 36 drivers and 25 tweeters.  I love the rest of my system (500 level Naim amp, pre amp, CD, phono stage) but the R2R is sublime.  Oh, I almost forgot about my Kuzma Stabi XL DC turntable with the 14" tonearm and Koetsu Rosewood Signature Platinum cartridge.
Pair of mono blocks made by a local guy Dave Herrin (Portland Oregon).  They just keep playing good music.
