I'm Dennis.
My attachment is usually to what improvements I have made by working on things, so I suppose it is any achievement which is really emotionally satisfying.
One of my pet dislikes is that people with lots of money often just buy what is regarded as the best, and then go around flaunting it as though they have achieved something, other than earning money that is.

It's a difficult question because different components would be changed in my system, for example the Royd RR3s are 83db sensitivity, so respond well to a 90W dual mono amp. With 95+db speakers the requirements change.
I suppose the one component that my system is built around is my Audial Model S DAC, it'll work in any system and sounds like an analogue source (extremely difficult to get with DACs!), but at the same time, I am using obsolete speakers almost impossible to replace, so it would hurt more to lose those...

I'm not emotionally attached to 'things' any more; in terms of hifi the original Exposure CDP has served me well for almost 20 years and would probably be the hardest single item to replace.

Much of my kit is home built. It would give me the chance to start over and a reason to start building again. If I had to save anything I'd start with my album collection.

Yes Russel I do, it's a lovely arm. Currently it's mounted on a Technics 1200.

How stunning! I saw one on a Avid Volvere in a salon, and have pined for one ever since! Often copied, but never duplicated. What are those new arms out? Reid? Looks like a triplanar smoothed down with a wooden arm, very nice actually, And of course the VPI arms with the VTA tower are blatant copies, with a unipivot attached. I'll tell you I see very few Triplanar's used for sale. And if I do, they want top prices, and I do keep my eye out.
