As you have moved on, are there any items you remember fondly...or most fondly?

As many on this site, I have had much in the way of the "high-end".  There are, fortunately, many good items I could list that are still in my head/heart....but the two that come to mind quickly are the Thiel CS-1.5 and the Conrad Johnson ART pre-amp.......If I go back to the beginnings the DQ-10 would be one of the most impactful to my audio/hi-fi experience/knowledge.   I don't really have the space right now, but when I do, I may put together a "retro" system for fun and nostalgia....you know, kind of like doing a '57 Chevy two door hardtop with a repaint, updated suspension/brakes and a 350 horse 327 with a Muncie 4-speed.....etc...  Although a 288 GTO and tickets to a live performance in Copenhagen would be O.K. too.

Cello Audio Palette - an amazing piece of gear. The one product I regret selling the most. It needed to be placed within easy reach of the listening position (I had a custom coffee table) to get the most out of it.

Krell MDA-300 monoblocks - sweet sound but boy did they run hot.

Revel Ultima Gems - these were Revel's first speakers and I had one of the first pair made. They didn't play very low, but from 50Hz up, they were excellent. 

Magneplaner Tympani IV - they needed a big room and a lot of power, but when set up well, they did a lot of things right.

Wish I hadn’t sold the LS3/5A decades ago.  Well or the Dahlquest dq10s that replaced them.

PBN Montana SP2 and original Von Schweikert VR4 Silvers are two speakers I really enjoyed.

I always had a soft spot for the AI Modulus 3a. So much so that I owned it three times over the years.

My Phase Linear 400 and my Acoustats.  I had the first ten years and the latter 25 years, with others coming and going, including Maggies and B&W.  Acoustats are selfish speakers, designed for one listener, but this hobby is a bit of self gratifying egoism..
