Whats the 2 best pieces of equipment you ever owned ?

PS Audio Stellar Gain Cell DAC (/pre/hpa)

My current amp, of 12-13 years, a custom stereo tubed EL34 number from Deja Vu Audio.
My current speakers Audio Note AN-J/lx's.

 

Technics SL-1200 mk2
Marantz 2225

 

restored Thorens TD124 with Jelco 750 arm

Back in the Day:
Pioneer 1010 receiver;
Allison 3 speakers

Now:
Outlaw Audio 2160 receiver;
PSB Imagine Mini/PSB HD8 subwoofer pair

 

My lower end Maggies. Even though they sit against the wall they image incredibly and give a depth I haven't heard in a long while.
The Dynaco ST70 I rebuilt.
Honourable mention to the single speaker crossoverless TQWT I built.

 

Conrad Johnson Pv5, Vandersteen 3A Signatures.

M~

 

I have owned both....and yep!

 

Technics SL-1200GAE
Bowers & Wilkins Nautilus 802 speakers

 

Greg, still happy with your 1500?
I miss variable out's and indexing

 

My VPI Prime and Klipsch Forte III

 

Technics SL-1210GR
Graham Slee Accession

 

And if I had to pick 3 I would also add my Line Magnetic 518IA. Amazing amp.

 

I would love to hear those speakers!

 

AR "The Turntable", marketed as the A.R.Legend in the U.K
Graham Slee Accession.

 

Still using my circa 2003 Rega Brio...fantastic integrated for the price. Have zero desire to upgrade
Record Doctor V...also great considering the price

 

Technics SL1200-MKII
A Samsung DVD player I bought cheap for about £100 about 16 years ago, its still going strong. Its never missed a beat, ever. Its survived 2 children's abuse

 

The Cambridge 752BD universal player and Acoustic Energy AE22 actives.

 

My current CDp and my current Cart. Love them x

 

totaldac dac
45 tube SET amp

 

Michell Gyro SE/SME 309 and original (biwire) Sonus Faber Concerto with Ironwood stands.
I would add the Nordost Red Dawn II speaker cable but I know the response that would get!

 

My Pass Labs XA30.8 paired with a VAC Renaissance MKV linestage. Sonic bliss!

 

I'd have to say my McCormack Micro Line Drive pre-amp. As Stereophile Mag called it "A frozen rope straight out of the park!"


Sentimental second place to my Stax SR5 headphones just for the fact they are still near mint and flawless. Bought in 1981! The purest sound none of my trad speakers have ever matched.

 

1) Michael Green Design Chameleon Speakers in a fully tuned room; and
2) Nottingham Analogue Mentor turntable (predecessor to the Dias) with a Graham 2.0 arm and Benz Micro Ruby II cart.

Just outstanding.

 

My Pioneer SX1250 and Thorens TD 166 Turntable... for many reasons other than sound but yea I’m not hard to please.
