Be warned, I don't list my stuff in alphabetical order.
Graham Slee Novo Headphone Amp. Nice little dinky amp, with a big musical communicative sound. Can drive many headphones. But I'd avoid the very 'hard to drive' types though.
Sugden A21a. Lovely Class A integrated from Yorkshire. Clean 'n' Lean sound, but never a nasty listen.
Dali Zensor 3. Despite having a slightly harsh treble they sound wide and lovely. Vocals sound great through the 3's.
Musical Fidelity A1. The real one of course. Sweet 'n' Musical.
Linn Karik III. Bit dry sounding but pleasant enough. No nasty digital glare in the treble. Stunning metal tray!
Roksan Kandy MKIII & K2 variants. Not the most refined sounding amps. But gives you a slice of what power and control is about. Very musical too.
Exposure 2010S2. Musical punchy sounding amp. Better value when bought second hand.
What about you guys?

Any Spica, especially the Angelus. My favourite speakers,
Snell J. Big, lively and fun.
Exposure 3 and 4. Lovely big, meaty sound,
Origin Live Silver arm. Incredible sounding arm AFAIC.
AT-OC9 cart. My fave so far,
Sonneteer Sedley. Wish I’d kept it.
Audion Sterling amp. Best valve amp I’ve owned

Never heard an Audion amp. Do they have a house sound?

Not sure, the later and more expensive KT120 version wasn’t as musical. Lots of folk say the mk1s are better. Mine was running KT90s.
The Audion was silky and lucid.

There are only 2 items that I yearn to own again.
First is an Aaron power amp from Germany. Rated at only 100 watts per channel, but this thing never seemed to run out of steam or be wrong footed no matter what music you threw at it.
Second, if I must have a turntable then it would be a Logic DM101. I had the electronic version which needed a shove to help it get going but the sound was always solid as a rock. No fannying around underneath and using jigs for setting up the springs, as that was performed easily from above.

Goldring 2100/2200 - Marvelous MM cartridges. Easily preferable to most MCs
Luxman/Luxkit Avance 504 Amplifier - Actively looking for one as backup to the Krell and improvement project. Superb sound.
That's it.

Ah that Luxman was good, especially for the money, but it wasn't as good as the Krell. Never go backwards, it hurts.
Don't think there is anything I've sold on I would buy again. Always onwards and upwards for me.

Always onwards and upwards for me. I used to think the Townsend Rock Reference I had in the early to mid 90s. Sold it to go towards deposit on flat. Idler decks have cured me of that regret... |

Accuphase 'E202' One of the most bootiful amps i ever owned. Shocking how much they fetch now although i sold mine for £100 at the time.
