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.

Sorry that I can’t narrow it down to just one or two things.  I’ve enjoyed this 40 year journey way too much :)

IMF Mark 4 Monitors, Improved. Great speaker in all categories if you have enough juice. I have a Threshold 4000 so that covered it.

ATC SCM50ASLT active loudspeakers in rosewood. Will never sell these. I've rotated through many speakers over the decades.
