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.

I bought a MC240 from a friend back in the 90’s. Was driving it from a Counterpoint SA 5.1 preamp. I sold them to buy a new Cary SLI-50 (which I still have and will never sell)

Very much wish I had never sold them, should’ve kept them and bought the Cary as a 2nd.

At the time, I didn’t fully appreciate what I had or what they were capable of. Was too young I guess. Got into tubes without  due diligence, and didn’t understand how the tubes I had in the units were sub standard, old and generally not up to snuff. Fresh tubes all around and a recap of the MC240 would’ve changed everything. I have every intention of at a minimum getting another Counterpoint. One day...
Our AR-XA turntable. A piece of art that sounds great and just paid to have it restored to it glory.
What a great thread, and it reveals the amazing breadth of terrific equipment over the years

I often copy and paste members equipment in threads, just to see/learn what they are excited about or asking for help.

This thread is too huge for that, but the diverse enthusiasm is infectious.


I love my Ocellia Calliope.21 Broadband loudspeakers. Both how they look and how they sound. If you don’t know these you can check em out right here https://youtu.be/4avuiiF3I2g
ATC SCM 40 v2's 
Amazing sound for their price range.
Built like a tank.
Will never part with them 😎
