You are invited on a "trip down memory lane".


This thread is, of course, mainly hyperbole (or less kindly B.S.).  But that said, what is an item from your sound system over the course of your journey that you would most want to have back?  I have sold some that I, likely, should not have.  Mine would be the CJ ART pre-amp and the Magnepan MG-20....a distant 3rd and mostly nostalgia would be the Dahlquist DQ-10 speakers.

I think many of us have had similar experiences growing up.  And not being a snob or anything, but my parents drove automobiles that went from point A to point B without any pretense of "fun to drive".  Somehow I got into racing Formula Fords and started driving some superb sports cars.  In high school I did the old going in a straight line ala. drag racing.  In later years I fell in love with the idea of winning races in corners, like at Road America and others.  Since speeding can get you a ticket, most of us can enjoy driving by threshold and trail braking and learning about the proper apex of a corner...just a thrill. 

Actually, I can't really say there is anything I used to own that I yearn to own once again. 
@whatjd  At 65 years old, I think I just went thru my second childhood. Just purchased a used mint condition  2018 Kawasaki Z900 Retro Sport motorcycle. I think my stereo is a much safer hobby.:-)
@bdp24 yes, one of my most enduring memories is early winter 1965 a truck showing up and unloading big boxes into our almost 20’x40’ ancient house living room - like no furniture besides the B-305 in cherry and built in cabinet around fireplace to house records and the stereo: 1961 MC-240, 1965 MX-110Z, Dual 1019 and a Shure. My mom was a music school grad and could play piano and accordion and Dad could play trumpet. I don’t think they bought a TV until 1970...

I know exactly when the Hook was set.. Peter and the Wolf....

I still have the MC gear in my Seattle vintage system along w furniture from them... another reason for your music visit :-)
