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

My Best-

When I was in grad school I built a Dynaco PAS3x and a Dynaco 70 over a weekend. All worked. I set it up with an AR turntable, Two AR3 speakers, and a Scott FM Tuner and it sounded great! I mean great. That was in 1967.

I used this set up, in different homes, for over 30 years. Never was I able to replicate the sound of that first room! I have since then used an array of "stuff" from

lots of very high end companies and never as good as the original Dynaco set up.

Today, I am stuck with intermittent internet radio and an array of gear that costs a fortune, but not as clear or musical as was the "Dynaco/AR" experience.

However, it has been a fun voyage. Met a lot of nice people! But the glow of the tubes at night!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I did have some favorites over the years. I had Boulder amps, Belles amps, McIntosh Amps, Quad amps- favorite were the Quad ESL 57s!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 

Had most of them at the same time in different rooms.

I was so confused as to which sounded better! 

But nothing, nothing compared to the original "Dynaco/AR: set up!

Oh BTW, "Dynaco" was the least expensive, of all, I ever bought, and a kit as well! The Dynaco amp was $89.00 and the PAS 3x was $119.00, plus tax , of course.

Am I getting sad?

NA!

My iPhone 😁 but a need a better battery

It's supposed to be audio gear funny man...

Pretty strange that the AR setup was your favorite larryro2 after all of that other gear.
