What are the items/models that you have owned more than once? And loaning "software".


Perhaps it is an early sign of insanity, but I have owned a few products more than once....and some of these do go back in time some. 

Large Advents, 
Dahlquist DQ-10
Magnepan 1.6
CJ-12
CJ-ART
Wireworld Gold Eclipse 3
Classe Tuner-1

There are likely others I am not remembering. 

And yes, after "loaning" some people classic, special pressing albums...they required a re-purchase.  Did you ever have a CD returned with what you thought was peanut butter fingerprints on the surface?   Yes, the audiophile world is an extremely small percentage of the population.  With that said, my best friend I trusted with everything I had audio wise and never regretted it, and I do miss him and his intelligence.

DeKay, a bit scary, every item you listed I have owned, all only once, but one could say I owned the Large Advents twice since I had two pairs stacked with the top one upside down...to get the tweeters close together which helped the image. A "burned into my mind" memory was the first time I heard the Magneplaner 1D speakers..the three panel models.....think my friend was using a Crown Pre and Power amplification and likely an early direct drive Dual turntable with either a Shure V-15 or and ADC XLM....all with first gen Monster interconnects and speaker wire....and it sounded....ah.. let’s see...FINE, VERY FINE.

(and a P.S. Since the store I worked at was an Advent dealer I had the chance to hear the "double Advents" that Advent people had set up at C.E.S. and the top pair was upside down)....w/the tweeters close together.

The store I worked at was in Iowa City, named The Stereo Shop, which later was sold and re-named Audio Odyssey. 


I've only owned the following on 2 different occasions. Bought, sold, re-bought, re-sold.....

- Monarchy Audio SM-70Pro class A amplifiers - both times, I owned a pair of them
- Resolution Audio Opus 21 CD player
Quad 57's from '81 - 2000. Now have two pairs bought over the past few years! A classic design that will never go out of style!
A late-production pair of DCM Time Windows. Had them before in use from '77 - '81 when I bought my first pair of Quad 57's. Now have the TW's hooked-up to the Sumo Andromeda amp (designed by James Bongiorno). 
Jim:

If The Stereo Shop was located near Hy-Vee (North of the K-Mart Mall?) I purchased a used pair of JBL S99 speakers from them in 1974.

Sold them 6 months later when I left my small apartment and rented an old victorian with friends.

Were you still there when Hancher Auditorium opened in 1972?

Iowa City was fun...

-Gabe and Walkers
-The Airliner
-The Moody Blues (weird blacklight trip bar)
-"Cocktails" (the local old timer’s bar with no name, just the neon sign)

I worked part time @ Yorgos and then later on @ The Bull Market, when they took over the restaurant.
