Your Forever Pieces? What and Why?

+1 for the Super Duke Steve!

Very nice!

I remember my old 900 Monster was good fun and had quite the rumble under full chat or blat as might be a more accurate description of the unusual v twin sound.

Because it stands to reason there has to be BETTER TT around and was looking for ideas where to look.
However I decided its a keeper and acquired Denon DD TT to play with some vintage mm carts.

I guess I should add my TT to this list as after contemplation it is going nowhere.

Nottingham Analog Spacedeck.

I always wanted one while I lived in England but could not afford it.

Funny thing is their factory is just 6 miles from where I grew up!

May have other TT  along the way but will be keeping this one.

I sometimes wish I did not suffer from fidgetitus!
Some absolutely stunning gear being revealed here.
If I make 3 years on an item its headline news worthy ... Lol.

I certainly hope your last breath is a VERY long way off BDP24!
Thanks for overcoming your reticence and sharing here.

Thank you for all the kind words from the posters who are enjoying this thread.
Myself I am getting a huge kick out of it by seeing names that are  a blast from the past and discovering "new" equipment I had never even heard of before.
thank you one and all!

Great posts people, love some of the stuff I am seeing here!
Yes there are some serious addicts too...lol

???

I meant I was somewhat embarrassed that I do not have any really older pieces I have owned forever like a lot of members appear to.

My mother does still have her Grundig reel to reel tape deck that I remember from the late 60,s.
This she plays through a Trio receiver I gave her back in 77.

Hope these count!

Vegasears.
That is one neat story, even for me that would be a keeper!

Frank
I guess we can count records too.
But not tweaks ok!

😇😇😇

Now I am just downright embarrassed!
But I have always been the same with most things, including cars.

Grass is always greener on the other side for me.

Keep them coming, there is some fantastic gear being revealed!

I am also envious of most of you ...lol.

Holy moly!

I had no idea anybody kept some gear that long.

Good on all of you!

1987? Very nice timeframe there!
Wonder if ANYBODY has anything they have owned longer... That is still being used of course.

Quick starter.

Nakamichi 582 cassette deck.
Owned about 2 years( that's a lifetime for me so far lol)

No it’s not a Dragon but it fits my needs of playing my large collection of pre recorded tapes perfectly.
I will NEVER need anything better.

That’s my keeper.
