What audio components are heirloom quality?

"Everyone is trying to get to the bar
The name of the bar, the bar is called heaven
The band in heaven, they play my favourite song
Play it one more time, play it all night long
Heaven, heaven is a place, a place where nothing, nothing ever happens
Heaven, heaven is a place, a place where nothing, nothing ever happens
There is a party, everyone is there
Everyone will leave at exactly the same time
When this party's over, it will start again
It will not be any different, it will be exactly the same
Heaven, heaven is a place, a place where nothing, nothing ever happens
When this kiss is over it will start again
It will not be any different, it will be exactly the same
It's hard to imagine that nothing at all could be so exciting, could be this much fun
Heaven, heaven is a place, a place where nothing, nothing ever happens
Heaven, heaven is a place, a place where nothing, nothing ever happens"

What is considered an "heirloom" is a very personal thing. Not sure how to answer this usefully. Each family will have its own considerations regarding heirlooms.

"Audio equipment Isn't an heirloom."

Maybe, for a family of audiophiles.

Is there such a thing? :^)

I would like to speculate that someday when I go to the great listening room in the sky, my audio gear will become "family heirlooms" in that everyone in my family knows how fond I am of it and maybe that will encourage them to keep and use as heirlooms and not sell.

Plus it sounds pretty d--- good! Why would anyone not want to keep it (for free)?

Ghost,

I hope so in that I do not anticipate taking my audio toys with me...

Will there be any Clever Clocks there, I wonder??? :^)

Maybe "what will audiophile heaven be like" could be an interesting thread.

Also its companion thread about the other place....

Talking Head's version is the original. Byrne and Harrison the writers.

Many covers it seems, including Simply Red's.

VAC Phi Beta is heirloom quality eye candy. Jolida fx10 if one can't afford the VAC :-).
