The one piece of gear you will never sell


So much gear comes and goes, but do you have any keepers for life? 

For me, I'll never part with my Zerostat, LP12, and MR78 tuner. I think.

My Marantz 2270 receiver which I use only as a tuner in an all modern Audio Research/Wilson Sasha system. But that is purely for sentimental reasons---looks, sound and the fact that I purchased it in 1971 as a phase out for $209.00 and it was my receiver in high school, college and beyond. Everything else is fair game. 
Never say never, I get that, but my Zerostat's ain't going nowhere. Didn't say never! 
I am not tied to anything. For a price it is all available. I can always go out there and find something better. So many choices nowadays.

My Great American Sound Son of Ampzilla. This was my first high end amp and I have held onto it since. After all the amps I have owned it is the one I have always keep coming back to. Besides, I am a sucker for meters, even if they don't mean a thing.

Now that I've had it updated by Mike Bettinger at GAS Audio, it will be in my will to remain in the family!
I will probably never get rid of the Nakamichi 682ZX cassette deck, even though I plan to get into open reel deck adventure project.
I also really like the Nottingham Spacedeck but still might upgrade in a distant future, don't know.
