What has been your most satisfying component?


I don't think I have seen this question asked so here it goes. Many of us tend to buy and sell looking for the ideal, the holy grail, what works best in the current system, or whatever.
What component (or components)have stood the test of time in your system? I've been through quite a few but some have stayed despite having bought their replacements and subsequently selling them. I'll share once we get a few posts to get things going.

Resolution Audio CD-50, this player provides such detail it truly amazes me each time I play a well known cd on it for the first time. Listening to Jeff Buckley -- Grace now, and sure enough I'm hearing music that was missing before.
Meadowlark Audio Kestrel Hot Rods a close second. They're in the closet now but they are fantastic for what I paid for them.
Music Reference RM-10 tube amp. Has made me a very happy person after going through more than a couple amps. Sometimes less is more.
The component that has been in my system the longest is the pair of MC501 monoblocks. I just can't imagine ever needing/wanting to replace them.

The second longest component is my Platine Verdier. Again, don't know why I'd ever want a different TT from a performance point of view. Aesthetics...maybe.
