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?

When I bought my new to me Auralic Aries G1 I boxed up my Aries Mini but couldn't bring myself to sell it. For 6 years it was utterly reliable and nearly flawless and I figure I may find use for it again some day.

Mirror imaged pair of Dahlquist DQ 10 phased array speakers.  Purchased new in 1980 and recapped/refurbished.  Also a Denon DP 51F TT purchased in 1981.  Only change is new RCA cable.

Spendor 1/2...Just when I've thought I had them beat, I realized, "Really, who do you think you're kidding?" Will put them in my will.

There are 3: Dodd Balanced Power Supply, Dodd Battery Powered Preamp and Charlie Cocci Ultimate Monoblocks (the only 2 that will ever exist).
