Do you own gear from defunct brands?


I bought my first stereo setup in 1977, though before that I had a stereo that was cobbled together from bits that I could cobble together.. Over the years I’ve purchased new equipment from companies that eventually went under. Do you have or had gear in your system from companies that went under? 
 

Right now I have a streaming transport from Auralic, which went out of business in September 2025. I owned a CAL cd player and that company went under while I owned that cd player. There’s been others too-

Some of my system is new, Sonus Faber Olympica Nova speakers, VPI Prime Signature turntable with VPI Shyla cartridge. I just replaced a twenty-year-old ARC PH-7 with a 15-year-old Pass Labs XP-25. Here's the kicker. I inherited a Hovland Radia Amp from an audiophile friend who passed away. Hovland has been out of business for over twenty years I think. The amp was raved about when it was new. It is a better amp than anything I could afford to replace it with. If anything like it exists. According to Bob Hovland, the designer and manufacturer, this amp was twenty years in the making. He'd only made tube amps prior to this one, and he wanted an amp with solid state punch and tube warmth. There isn't anything it doesn't do well, and I was lucky enough to have Bob Hovland check it over to make sure it was up to specs. There is so much about it I like, I don't plan on replacing it.
