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.

There are things that I would be reluctant to get rid of (which is why I have 3 1/2 systems) and a few things that fall into the cold dead hands category.

In the first category are some Martin Logan original CLS, several Classe DR3 VHC amps, a pair of Vandersteen 4A speakers, and a CJ Premier 14/11a combo..

In the latter category are my Koetsu Urushi (original Sugano) cartridge and my Vendetta SCP-2D phono stage.

My favourite that I own now, is the Daedalus Audio Da-RMa speakers. I travelled o the UK to the Rocky Mountain show in Denver in 2009 and bought them from Lou, as a retirement present to myself. I still worked for 5 more years but a great present, that I am keeping for ever.

The favourite item from the past is the Koetsu  Rosewood Signature cartridge I bought second hand, used for 3 years, retipped and sold for about what I paid for it. Later I used a Koetsu Onyx, but I didn't like it as much
