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.

Thanks for the opportunity to revisit memory lane!

NAD 3140, Nakamichi 480, Sony PS-X60 w/Shure V-15 and Celestion Ditton 15XR w/factory upgraded tweeters/networks on Celestion Chrome OEM stands. My High School system circa 1982 when time stood still :-)

Gone but not forgotten.
Still have ARC GS150 amplifier (which I love), McIntosh C22 (recent issue), custom speakers made by Rudy Bozak for my father, and I do not know their age.  
My VTL 450MKII Amps.  They are the best amp's I ever owned.  Before the 450's, I used VTL 300 Deluxe MB's for many years.  Owning the 300's gave me an opportunity to get to know the folks a VTL very well due to repairs and upgrades.  The 450 have been trouble free since I got them 10 years ago.  Since buying the 450's I've talked to VTL twice, a quick question over the phone and at CES.  I purchased both pairs of VTL amps used, I could never afford new ones.  VTL has always treated me as a valued customer. 
My favorite: Thiel CS2.2 amber wood speakers. My first true audiophile purchase in the 90's. I enjoyed listening to them for decades.  Amps, pre-amps, and sources came and went, but the Thiel CS2.2 speakers were a constant. Just traded them in for about $500 less than I paid ~30 years ago. $500 / 30 years < penny per day listening cost.

I upgraded to Thiel CS7.2 speakers, so no regrets.
