Your Forever Pieces? What and Why?


Pretty sure a number of members have some equipment they have owned forever or intend to where feasible.
Curious as to what, how long so far and why?

Sound Lab A-2 electrostatic speakers. Purchased used in 1985. Refurbished in the early '90s. C.A.T. SL-1 Mk II, Used 1991. I am about to sell it, too many preamps.
Musical Fidelity NuVista Preamp, new 1998.
Musical Fidelity NuVusta 300 amp, new 1999. Thinking about selling this too.
Altec 755a speakers, used 1999, they are 61 years old.
Pink Triangle Anniversary turntable, used 1996. Linn ITTOK shortly after, followed by an EKOS.
That's the primary list, my newest stuff consists of a Lampizator DAC/Passive preamp that is only a couple of years old and a DIY Amp Camp Amp that I assembled a couple of months ago. Also a RAAL tweeter that I built into a speaker with the 755s and a pair of Altec 515s that I have also owned for around 20 or so years but never used until recently.

All of this equipment is in regular use except for the C.A.T., although that gets used occasionally too. Several years back I bought something from an A-gon member, and he was curious why I could have been a member for so long and not have more feedback. Answer, as you can probably tell, I rarely sell anything.
