As you have moved on, are there any items you remember fondly...or most fondly?

As many on this site, I have had much in the way of the "high-end".  There are, fortunately, many good items I could list that are still in my head/heart....but the two that come to mind quickly are the Thiel CS-1.5 and the Conrad Johnson ART pre-amp.......If I go back to the beginnings the DQ-10 would be one of the most impactful to my audio/hi-fi experience/knowledge.   I don't really have the space right now, but when I do, I may put together a "retro" system for fun and nostalgia....you know, kind of like doing a '57 Chevy two door hardtop with a repaint, updated suspension/brakes and a 350 horse 327 with a Muncie 4-speed.....etc...  Although a 288 GTO and tickets to a live performance in Copenhagen would be O.K. too.

Right there with oregonpapa and ghdprentice. My pair of Acoustat Model 6. Tough on amps but I’ll never forget that sound.

# 2 would be my Nakamichi 680Z. Also the dumbest audio mistake I've ever made. New Year's Day 1995. Yes, I was hungover but that's no excuse. Was outside putting a new battery in my van. Came inside to switch tapes without thinking to wash my hands first. Frozen transport. Not fixable. It currently resides in my attic. Just looks too good to throw away.

"Had to chuckle at the multiple mentions of Acoustat... You see, I still HAVE my 1+1s Medallions from new. Never have been able to hear anything to get me to let them go. LOL"

Thanks for rubbing it in! Glad you have the space. The Model 6 had to go when I moved into a 10x12 room :-)
