My Dynavector 507 tonearm.....a tour de force in audio design. My Audible Illusions Modulus 3.....have not found anything that can replace it.
My Stax Lamba Pro 3 earspeakers and matching Class A amp/preamp and world class CD transport.
My Rogue Audio 99 preamp with phono stage.Has Telefunken,G.E. and Radiotechnique's stuffed in it.Nothing under $4000 can touch it!
my vpi hp-17f record cleaner is the only "component" i've had in my system for more that 10 years. since i've no plans to replace it, i guess it may be the best. my second choice is my pair of avalon eidolon speakers. not only do they reproduce music wonderfully but they are drop-dead gorgeous in their skins of myrtle burl.
