My Sennheiser HD600 headphones with HD650 drivers. Lost track of how long I have had them... Maybe 15+ years? I still use them every day.

Ortofon Kontrapunkt-b MC cartridge. When the stylus wears out, I have it retipped (coming up on the 2nd retip). Still a favorite after all these years. Don't recall if I purchased in 2001 or 2002.

Understood!
I think the infinity IRS Beta is one of the best speaker systems of all time. The longer I own them, the more I like them.

Our Vivid Audio G2s: 9 years
& Vivid Audio C1 & V1Ws: 8 years

Sennheiser HD650: 15 years

Our gramophone... from 1920! Was functioning until recently, needs a bit of readjustment now.
