Equipment that has made you 'stop' looking?

The 2Q symmetrical balanced transformer product from Equitech is 
definitely a keeper as a foundation for AC power isolation/conditioning
in my Spectra/MIT system. The beauty of the product is the incontrovertible
mathematics it's based on. A breakthrough with an apparently limitless
application timespan; well,as long as we use electricity...

My wife. Or at least she has tried!

 I bought an HITACHI AM/FM Stereo FT920 back in about 1976 and it's been on and playing ever since. In the 80/90's I tried a couple of the most highly touted new digital tuners but found I easily preferred the Hitachi. It replaced a very highly touted Marantz(then given to a brother in law) I found the Hitachi bettered the Marantz in clarity and nuance and particularly the bottom end which I found too 'bloomy' in the Marantz. I can't comment on aspects other than the sound received from good FM stations.

After auditioning several integrated amplifiers over the last two years I have settled on the Mark Levinson No. 585 integrated.  It will stay around for a long time.  I’m also be happy with the recently acquired Focal Sopra No. 1s.

Looking back at my post from 2005 where I answered the question of " equipment that's made me stop looking " ,then seeing my answer being Mcintosh XRT-22 dual column line arrays my answer still holds true ,anybody else here still have the same equipment they fell in love with 15 years ago ? 

My Mcintosh XRT-22s have never been taken out of my 5 channel Mcintosh system as no speaker I've heard makes me feel as they do ,until I lucked into buying Roger Russells personal Mcintosh XR-290 triple column line arrays a few years ago ,the all Mcintosh system still has every component it had in it when I posted in 2005 e.

Lyngdorf 2170,
Within the first 2 wks of using,I stepped directly off the Preamp,pwr amp,dac merry go rounds and started listing and selling gear that I would no longer use or need.

The only related gear that I look at now is Lyngdorf’s new 3400.

Spatial X2s

For me its my B&W Matrix 800 speakers and ARC Ref 6 preamp 

For me, it's been my Audio Note Kit 003 speakers (Audio Note AN-E LX/He spec).  I've been through a few different speakers last few years including Spatial Audio M3 TS, Totem Element Ember and Tekton Double Impacts etc.

These AN's do everything I've lusted after and more.  Now I'm finally tweaking the rest of my system around them instead of vice versa.     

Nakamichi Dragon cassette deck. Used to startle friends with how good their tapes actually were! Kept it. I was lucky to get one of the last few made. Serendipity. I’ve kept it and am building a new equipment rack where it will be very welcome.

Bryston 14b3. marantz SA-10. I heard some very expensive equipment last weekend and I'm happy with what I have.

My Fisher Price Record player. Got it when I was 3 and have been so happy with it I have never wanted to look at anything else. Of course it doesn't actually "play" so I have to whistle and pretend. But it is fun to play with.
