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.

Pair of big Vandersteen 4 speakers from mid-'80s. Bought them used; they arrived on a semi-trailer that was too big to get in the driveway. Had to walk them 200 ft to the house w/dollies. 

These have built in subs, each one = 2 X 12" woofers connected via steel bar in push/pull configuration. The very flexible tri-wire system allowed use of SS on the subs & tubes on mids/treble, which is what I did.

They're still the finest sound I ever heard from speakers. And they're still stored in a closet here in our 2nd house (moved in 1991, nowhere to put that big audio system).
