Keeping Hifi Equipment For Sentimental Values


I am just wondering if anybody has kept a piece of hifi equipment just for sentimental values and nothing else. I recently just disposed off the last piece of audio equipment of my first audio system set up a decade ago during my college years when I sold my B&W CDM1SE speakers. It sure has some sentimental values to me in bringing back some memories of the residence hall in my campus but I thought I don't really need it anymore so decided it's time for the speakers to find a new owner that can appreciate it better. I have managed to hang on as long as I can to the speakers.

So, does anybody still keep any piece of hifi equipment throughout all these years although you don't use it or need it? If there is, what sentimental values does that piece of gear has in preventing you from selling it?

I should have emulated a few folks here and kept my B&Ws! Anyway that's history now. At least I know tape players are still going strong after all these years, and I thought they were already gone for good and went into extinction. Yes, there are some good old memories of making copies using the "high-end" metal or chrome Maxell tapes on my Yamaha cassette deck. Unfortunately, I didn't make enough copies(probably less than 10) to warrant any sentimental values to the cassettes, and they ended up in the trash years ago when I cleaned up storeroom. The Yamaha cassette deck didn't survive the test of time either and went earlier.
