All time classics? Your top 3 or 4?

Most of us here on AudiogoN have had more than our share of components and speakers...so:

What items do you feel are "all time classics"?

These would be audio products that set the standard for others and are (likely) even now well thought of.

I will start things off with:

1. The Dahlquist DQ-10
2. The Large Advent
3. The Conrad Johnson ART pre-amp.
4. The Classe CAP-100 integrated.

(I could/should have mentioned others...but that's why I started this thread!).

(1)Linn LP-12
(2)Dalquist DQ-10
(3)Spectral DMC-10
(4)Snell AIII
(5)Koetsu Rosewood
(6)Bedini 25/25 1 MEG

All of the above set the standards for their time or their respective categories(IMHO).

Trying not to repeat anything.......

Shure V15VMR Cartridge
Conrad Johnson PV-10 Preamp

Both of these products have been around for 15 to 20 years, and are still being manufactured today. They are also as well regarded now, as they were when they were introduced.
