One Component You Would Never Change One Type You Would Return To

I am curious about your tonearm - the Origin Live Agile.

Because it has non offset bearings, and the cartridge is offset, every time you adjust VTA the azimuth goes out. How do you get round this.

I have some vintage arms FR64s, SME 3012R and this aspect drives me nuts.

Using a small bubble level on top of the headshell you can see how small changes in VTA alter azimuth quite visibly, which are a pain in the butt to adjust.

Never change from Ohm Walsh. 
 

Would return to old Nakamichi car stereo with MB Quart speakers. 

I thoroughly enjoy my system. I really don't have that serious a connection to my components. I have changed my system many times and continue to do so, but have never gone back. Every change I made was to improve the sound of the system.

There's one exception. I did a rebuild on the 1980s Paragon System "E" preamp that I purchased new back then. It sat gathering dust for more than 40 years. I am now retired with plenty of time on my hands. I chose to rebuild the "E" and I'm glad I did. I fixed all the old problems (mainly a noisy pot and the whole power supply).

Compared to the refurbed SP-6B, the "E" holds it's own. I was very surprised by the sound. I rotate both regularly. Both use 12AX7/ECC83 tubes.

If I redid my entire system, my Boulder 1108 phono-stage would have to stay. There is nothing from the past I want to return to.

Given that I really like my system as is, but if I ever put significant money into it again I'll swap my Naim 252/SCDR/300DR electronics for Boulder 1100 series.

I wouldn't change my Quad 57's. Now have two pairs. My first pair of 57's I stupidly sold after 19 years. Also my Julius Futterman H3aa OTL monos and the Futterman Harvard H3 OTL stereo amp. Priceless!

I would return to the DCM Time Windows after previously owning two pairs in the 1970's/80's/90's. Now I have another pair of TW's in daily use for 8 years. The TW is still one of the all-time best sounding speakers!
