As an audio nut since ~1983, many speakers & amps have come & gone, but in 1987 I bought a used SOTA SAPPHIRE turntable, and it's been my one & only TT for 38 years! It's simply so perfect at what it does... but I do admit I'd like to try out a Technics SL-1200G before I get too old to lift it. I should have grabbed one when they first came out at $3500.

Only two older pieces for me. An Audiolab 8000S integrated amp made in England and I purchased new in the late 90's. Still works great. I've only cleaned the volume control and switches on it but no longer use it. Also still have my Koss ESP-950 electrostatic headphones I bought sometime in the 90's. They work and sound great and I occasionally still use them. These have been replaced a few times over the years under their LIFETIME warranty! |
@willywonka I tried too get a pair of Koss electrostatic headphones repaired a year or two ago- called the company- they no longer service the headphones. I also had a pair of Koss headphones I bought in the 70's- don't quite recall the model number. Unfortunately, I have no idea whatever happened to them. |
