What is your favorite piece of gear?

JBL S4700 speakers. They produce a nice, big, and bold sound that isn't for the weak of heart.

PMC twenty.26 transmission line speakers. I personally have never heard speakers with a more reveling and natural high and mid sound plus a full and controlled bass rendering than PMC speakers.

Oh man....good question. As much as I love my Kronos and Lumin S1, I would have to say my Sonus Faber Stradivari's. They have a soul.

Mike,

do you know of another speaker which convey's the Strad's soul as you say in a smaller package?
 
Strads for the win.

Give me my Strads and a little tube integrated, I'm happy.
 
My wife! Very low noise floor, insensitive to cable prices and powerful enough to drive any shopping cart without compressing the bottles of single-malt. No need to upgrade but still testing new products once in a while.

Either but less expensive floor stander is preferred.

I will try to listen to a pair.

Thx

And in keeping with the thread topic .

My next purchase!
 
Tannoy speakers have been the cornerstone of my system for more than 7 years now, so that -- currently running Canterbury SE (2+ years after upgrading from Kensington SE), and that won't be changing anytime soon, if ever. I've reached the limit of what I can responsibly afford right here. I love all my other components too, but the contributions of a big Tannoy are the only thing I consider completely irreplaceable.

And if we can consider headphone systems separately, then the Stax SR-009. I've been completely enamored with these headphones since hearing and purchasing them this summer (run with a proper amp, e.g. KGSSh, BHSE, or T2 clone). I prefer them to everything, including Sennheiser Orpheus, HD800, Sony MDR-R10, etc.

Cripes! I hope your wife doesn't read Audioshark.
 
I should add an update here. The digital front end is still my favorite, especially now that I have replaced the Shunyata Alpha Digital power cord with it's new big brother, the Sigma Digital power cord. This has just bought an overall increase in clarity, nuance, tone, etc to the music while lowering even more any background noise. Music just appears from different spots in a black hole soundstage. Maybe light can't escape from a black hole, but music sure can.
 
I absolutely love the looks and functionality and sound of AMR products, but if I have to choose my favorite piece of gear that I own, it would have to be my TTW GEM II turntable. This thing is really extraordinary in it's ability to extract music from vinyl.
