Your Forever Pieces? What and Why?


Pretty sure a number of members have some equipment they have owned forever or intend to where feasible.
Curious as to what, how long so far and why?

Definitely not ever going anywhere:
Nakamichi Dragon, bought brand around 1991
McIntosh MR78 tuner, bought used about 10 years ago
Technics 1508 R2R, bought used about 8 years ago
The above sound amazing, superb condition, loads of fun!
Probably not going anywhere:
Zu Definition 4 speakers, bought new about 6 years ago.
IMO, competes with speakers costing 2x,s the price. Small footprint, built in subwoofers brings them down to 16hz, full range drivers with no crossovers, high efficiency, huge sound, works well with 1 watt amp all the way up to 400 watts.


Thanks for your info on the 202MkVII Al. Good to know

I just wanted to let R2R and cassette deck owners know that there is another alternative to repairing these decks at a (probably) lower cost than Soundsmith or Willie Herman. I’ve used New Jersey Factory Service with great results for my R2R, but I see Russ does cassette decks as well.
