RE: favorite audio equipment

Favorite piece of audio equipment:

Quad electrostatic speakers

First system:

AR XA turntable modified for Grace G-707 arm, Shure V15 something cartridge

Kenwood L-07T/II FM tuner

DIY Leach FET preamp

Dynaco Stereo 70

Quad electrostatic speakers

Leach preamp aside, all pretty classic stuff circa 1982.

Since then I've gone through 4 turntables (new AR turntable, VPI HW-19-II, Linn LP-12 and Lenco), 2 tonearms (Rega RB-300, Origin Live Rega RB-250), multiple cartridges (Audioquest 404H, Technics EPC-205 III, Adcom XC-MR, Shure V-15 VMR, Shure V-15 VxMR, ATML-170), 4 preamps (van Alstine modified PAS-3, Music Reference RM-5 Mk II, Sony TA-E88) , 3 amplifiers (Berning EA-230, Miyabe VP-300BD, Rogue Atlas), 1 tuner (McIntosh MR-67). Primary speaker has stayed the same throughout. Just listing it seems like a lot but it was probably 4-5 years between changes in most cases.
