SOTA Sapphire w/MMT arm. I got it used in 1987. I've changed & upgraded & cross-graded everything else in my system more that a dozen times, but I've never felt the desire to change my SOTA. Still love it today, and I'm always excited to plunk down some vinyl, whether it's an old average pressing, or a pristine Mo-Fi pressing.
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.
