Your oldest gear?


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

What piece of equipment have you owned the longest?

fun topic @zavato ! I am so focused on the new 2  channel I take this 35 year old vaca stuff for granted.  I had another pair of the 802N's I sold for 5k, only to spend 10x more for my current Vivid Giya's!  Now don't ask us about TV's!

Too much stuff from the 60’s, 70’s and 80’s to list - tube and transistor. Here’s my collection of vintage Altec speakers: Bolero’s, Santana 1’s, Segovia’s and Stonehenge 1’s. Plus JBL 4312’s and L166's.

The longest piece I have owned and also in present use is the Ariston RD11S I bought new in 1977 for $380. I then added a secondhand SME 3009 arm ($150) and a Microacoustics 2002E cartridge ($90). Now it has a Grace 707 arm and Denon 103 cartridge.
