What are the items/models that you have owned more than once? And loaning "software".

Perhaps it is an early sign of insanity, but I have owned a few products more than once....and some of these do go back in time some. 

Large Advents, 
Dahlquist DQ-10
Magnepan 1.6
CJ-12
CJ-ART
Wireworld Gold Eclipse 3
Classe Tuner-1

There are likely others I am not remembering. 

And yes, after "loaning" some people classic, special pressing albums...they required a re-purchase.  Did you ever have a CD returned with what you thought was peanut butter fingerprints on the surface?   Yes, the audiophile world is an extremely small percentage of the population.  With that said, my best friend I trusted with everything I had audio wise and never regretted it, and I do miss him and his intelligence.

3 pairs of the Large Advents

7-8 Dynaco Stereo 70's

5-6 Dynaco PAS3 preamps (2 PAS3X)

4 Dynaco PAM/mono preamps

3 Advent 300 receivers (one with the 12V function)

5 Thorens TD160's (various models)

Keep in mind that in the mid/late 70's you could purchase a Stereo 70 for $35, or so, and the PAS's were going for $25.

The Advent speakers were all purchased from Sound Labs in Des Moines where the owner (Harry) gave me discounts and/or dibs on returns.

Funny...

I remember and wish that I could forget that biker bar (long unbelievable story that really happened).

Jim:

If The Stereo Shop was located near Hy-Vee (North of the K-Mart Mall?) I purchased a used pair of JBL S99 speakers from them in 1974.

Sold them 6 months later when I left my small apartment and rented an old victorian with friends.

Were you still there when Hancher Auditorium opened in 1972?

Iowa City was fun...

-Gabe and Walkers
-The Airliner
-The Moody Blues (weird blacklight trip bar)
-"Cocktails" (the local old timer’s bar with no name, just the neon sign)

I worked part time @ Yorgos and then later on @ The Bull Market, when they took over the restaurant.
