What has been your most satisfying component?

Quicksilver 300B SET amplifiers have remained in my system longer than any other component has before. I once came close to selling out of financial necessity, but they've managed to stand the test of time and temptation to try alternatives. Other components have changed around them, and in my other system, but they've remained and have never ceased to delight me.

VAC Renaissance amplifiers. The sweetest gear I've ever owned. I am on my third version. I started with a 30/30 MKll. Then I bought a 70/70 MKlll. I thought that was it for me. All of a sudden a 70/70 signature came up for sale here. Just when I thought it couldn't get better, every step was a quantum leap. Kevin Hayes of Valve Amplification Company is a genius. I don't work for VAC, and I am not related to anyone that is employed by VAC.

good thread. since 1984 i've had 3 pairs of b&w 802's (most recently matrix s3's), so there must be something there i find appealing....the mainstay has been the mac c22 II. my second favorite pre of all time(next to the marantz 7), and its not going anywhere.

I have two. The audio refinement complete. I've managed to own it five different times. I've sold and rebought. I think I'm sticking with it now. Even if I choose to go with another amplifier.

The second one is a mint condition 1978 Yamaha T-1 tuner. I bought it about six years ago and is the only piece of gear I've ever had for more than a year. I don't see it going anywhere. I have owned a couple other tuners, but the T-1 stays around.
