I have to list equipment that was lost in a house fire this year as equipment I would have never sold or willingly parted with. a pristine pair of VMPS tower II SE speakers that served as the mains in the theater room and in equally high status was a pair of VMPS larger subwoofers. Each sub was blessed with a 12" and 15" driver plus a 15" PR. That is a lot of cone area. I had a carver 1.5t that had been restored driving the main speakers and a pair of AR-3a that had been rebuilt to new specs for rear channel speakers driven by a Carver PM-900 that was in good shape when I got it. A yamaha t85 tuner as well as my 2nd and 'keeper' turntable Technics SL-d1. I had an aging Yamaha 6 ch receiver that I liked very much. Not much power in stand alone mode but it worked well as a pre-amp. Replacing all of that now is going to prove a daunting task.
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?
