What has been your most satisfying component?

I don't think I have seen this question asked so here it goes. Many of us tend to buy and sell looking for the ideal, the holy grail, what works best in the current system, or whatever.
What component (or components)have stood the test of time in your system? I've been through quite a few but some have stayed despite having bought their replacements and subsequently selling them. I'll share once we get a few posts to get things going.

Can't say they have stood the test of time because one has been in my system for 14 months and the other only 6. But I have been looking for something this good and satisfying for a long long time. The most satisfying components are my TAD 2404 speakers - to my ears they are accurate, musical and detailed. And the second most satisfying is my Kinoshita HQS2500UPM power amp. Before the Kinoshita, I had not had a transistor amp for 20 years and the last amps I had were Audion silver transformered black gated prototypes built around the VV52B tube. They were great single-ended mono blocks but to my very great surprise, bettered in all departments by the Kinoshita. Since I have been blessed with these two items I listen nearly every day.

Happy listening!
