An audio component you just can't let go

I have some custom amplifiers made by a local guy (now gone) named Dave Herren.  I keep them for sentimental reasons.

Schiit Yggdrasil analog 2.   Just sounds like music.  Stopped analyzing the sound of my music, and just enjoyed listening to it!

My beloved Electron Kinetics Eagle 2a.

That’s easy.  My Musical Fidelity A3cr preamplifier.  I bought it barely used too many years ago to remember.  It started out in my main audio system, got moved to my TV system and then moved to  my desktop computer audio system.  I’m not using my desktop system any more, which is a shame, but fading eyesight and my iPad nearly obsolete it.   It’s an important component of my computer audio system, along with its equally reliable mate, an Adcom GFA 535II amplifier.  my older Oppo 83SE  and an Audio Alchemy DDP-1 DAC.  A lot of  people would rejoice to have this good sounding system as their main audio system,  

it only takes a reading through this review to renew my resolve to never let this preamp go.  Every piece of music gear would rejoice to have received a review as glowing as this one.
