Thinking my Simaudio W5 power amp will be with me for many years to come. It really doesn't add any flavour, just lets whatever's behind it come through in a large way.
It's not that it's great, but I've got a 40-year-old Stanton gyropoise turntable in my studio system. I seldom use it and it has a fairly fresh stylus (you cannot replace the cartridge in it!) so it's probably going to remain here as long as I do. FWIW I have another, better TT in my main system.
For me the one piece of gear that I will never sell is my restored Accuphase E202 integrated. The reason being is that to me it has it all should I ever be forced to sell my other gear. Enough power to make lots of speakers sing. It has a good phono stage and headphone output to.
