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.

I had a Sony ES Home Theater 5.1 receiver that I bought in the late 90's that I really liked,  even for 2 channels music.   I think the model was DA777ES.   The mid range of this amp was so sweet.   

After owning it for about 12 years, the entire digital circuit stopped working.  Only analog inputs still worked.   I decided not to fix it and threw it away in garbage.   I kind of regret it now after all these years.

Sony ES line used to be very good.   I don't know what happened to them.   Seems like they have stopped investing in the ES brand.  That's a shame.
