What's the best and/or favorite piece of equipment you've owned? And do you still own it?


My favorite piece(s)  are  (and I still own them) the Martin Logan Ethos lousdpeakers and Soudsmith Paua cartridge.  As far as speakers go, electrostats are my favorite and will replace them with another set of electrostats.  I'm currently eyeing MUR Audio SP1's.  These two pieces make my rig sound great.

Being on the older side, I have a lot to choose from.

Like many who have owned the QUAD ESL, they are number one.

Then there is the unique Townshend Audio Rock Turntable, mine being the Elite/Mk.2 version. Mated to it is another keeper, the Zeta tonearm.

Staying with English companies (yes, Max Townshend was an Australian, but Townshend Audio was---and remains---based in England), there is the equally unique London (formally Decca) phono pickups. I bought my first Decca in 1973, before many of ya'll were born.

Already considered classics, my trio of Music Reference power amps (RM-9 MK.2, RM-10 Mk.2, RM-200 Mk.2) will remain in my music room until I die. Don't hold your breathe ;-) .

Amongst Magneplanar enthusiasts, the Tympani T-IVa remains a favorite. I don't currently have a room big enough for my pair to be properly situated, so they are sitting in their original shipping cartons, waiting for the opportunity to once again sing.
