An audio component you just can't let go


What is a component you just can't seem to let go or sell even after you've already upgraded and not really using it anymore. What makes this component so special?

@re-lar-kvothe I owned the B&K Pro10 and ST140 for 25 years. Purchased in 1985. Drove an original pair of Vandersteen Model IIs.  The B&K combo was superb at the price point and beyond.

I pushed the button to soon, the one component I kept from 1985 till today was a Sonograph SG3 TT with Sumiko Primier arm. 

McIntosh MX113 preamp, recapped, tuner aligned, and lamps upgraded to LED equivalents.

The MX113 is my first Mac; it drives two Mac RS100 bookshelf speakers via their wired connection. Each speaker has a 40 watt internal amp.

Nice little system, installed in the office.

 

Klipsch sb3s and sb2s bookshelf speakers... they sound great but mostly taking up space in my storage space. If you are on a low budget, these will get you audiophile quality sound.
