A life sentence!!!

It's not close to the most expensive component in my rig, it's not the second most expensive,  it's tied with my 3rd most expensive... it's my Supratek Cortese LCR, and I'd part with everything else before this preamp. In part because the guy who hands builds this in Australia has been at this for some time and when he retires what out there's may very likely be all that exists. But also it's just a beautiful sounding piece.

@thriftyaudio I’m with you.

My Acoustat 1+1s owned since new.

Happy listening

Great question,  I have to agree it’s me.  Once I’m gone the family will breakup my system quicker than a supergroup.

if I had to pick one component it would be my Innuos Zen MK3 streamer.  Great sound and the CD ripper with 1TB storage brings my streaming and CDs together in one easy to use place.  I got a great deal from a local dealer so it would be expensive to replace.
