What components would you take to a desert island?

Scenario: You decided to live on isolated island (with solar power) to avoid the Bird Flu. You sold your stocks and mansion and can buy any components in the world, that you feel you would be happy with. You go on a buying spree BUT can only take ONE make and model of each of the following 1)Turntable 2)Tonearm 3)Cartridge 4)Phono preamp(mc) 5)Line-preamp 6) Power amp(amps) 7)Speaker system 8)CD player 9)Dac 10)Cables 11)Tuner. You bring along 100,000 records and CDs. You will have 10 spares of each component for replacement if broken. Your yaught is ready now and time to load your selection. WHAT HAVE YOU CHOSEN? I have chosen Rockport Sirius 111 with ZYX Universe, Boulder Preamps and Boulder amps and a pair of Altec Lansings Largest speakers model A1.

I think it's shorthand for a deserted island. I just hope it's not in the path of migratory birds.

Albert, NICE answer.

However Jmcgrogan2 brings up a very good point as well.

I think the best answer would be natalie portman with a mute button. How perfect would that be?

As for audio gear, something that requires no power and can stand up to a monsoon. ROFL

And a vollyball with a blood stain called wilson.
