As you have moved on, are there any items you remember fondly...or most fondly?

As many on this site, I have had much in the way of the "high-end".  There are, fortunately, many good items I could list that are still in my head/heart....but the two that come to mind quickly are the Thiel CS-1.5 and the Conrad Johnson ART pre-amp.......If I go back to the beginnings the DQ-10 would be one of the most impactful to my audio/hi-fi experience/knowledge.   I don't really have the space right now, but when I do, I may put together a "retro" system for fun and nostalgia....you know, kind of like doing a '57 Chevy two door hardtop with a repaint, updated suspension/brakes and a 350 horse 327 with a Muncie 4-speed.....etc...  Although a 288 GTO and tickets to a live performance in Copenhagen would be O.K. too.

Thanks to all.  One post reminded me of my early Empire Turntable (598?)  Still a classic look.

"Had to chuckle at the multiple mentions of Acoustat... You see, I still HAVE my 1+1s Medallions from new. Never have been able to hear anything to get me to let them go. LOL"

Thanks for rubbing it in! Glad you have the space. The Model 6 had to go when I moved into a 10x12 room :-)

Some years back I had an old set of Spendor Prelude speakers, modest box speaker two ways.  I drove them with a small Naim amplifier and they were very pleasant to listen to.  Smooth and soothing when playing easy music, but could boogie too.  I miss those Spendors.  They weren't expensive either, I think 700 dollars back then.

My most fond memory is discovering a dealership that sold all of my vintage speakers to me that is sadly not any longer in business but i can say that i am so happy that i found the dealership because i acquired dream sound that i would never want to be without.
