Your oldest gear?


What’s the oldest piece of equipment in your system? 
 

What piece of equipment have you owned the longest?

I had the same complete system for 20+ years.  My current system was all put together over the past 5 years.  But I'm listening to my Ipod Classic in a Bose Docking Station as I type this.  Amazingly, the Ipod is still working, and holding a charge, after +/- 16 years.  But the oldest things would be several LPs that I bought 45+ years ago and still play.  Cheers,

My current main system is about 5 years old (last upgrade cycle, all the same age). My oldest piece...is a 1972 Marantz 1040 integrated amp... I just keep it for nostalgia... my first piece of high end equipment.

my ears

Speakers. Dali Mentor 6 purchased in 2012 if I remember correctly. I started to replace them last year with smaller lighter speakers but ended up keeping them and buying a pair of Dali Menuet SEs which was the start of my office system. 

Grace F9L ca 1974.

Paragon System "E" preamp ca. 1978.

Audio Research  SP-6B (phono section) ca. 1979.

All have been active recently or are in use today.

 

I don't throw much out.
