I've updated my profile to show all of my system, and I love it all! But, as an Audiophile I am willing to replace any of it at a moment's notice! The only part I would never part with is my Magnum Dynalab FT-101 tuner. An FM only tuner that is just superb, I will never part with it for any reason. Upon my death I will have it mounted in my coffin with an arial on my tomb stone.
But, more recently I came across the Krell FPB-300, and I doubt I will ever part with that either. If I do, it will be a long time from now.

Tannoy MG 15" speakers - superb.
my highly modded lenco75 is also my current favourite bit of kit.
A modded Shure M55e is also pretty high on the list.

My Garrard 301 was bought new by my uncle in 1964 and is my absolute pride and joy.
In fact I feel rather guilty that it hasn't had a look-in since I bought the Nak TX-1000...

I recently purchased a Dave Slagle autoformer preamp from a member on this forum.
This is a lovely piece of kit and in MY system sounds superb.
I have had my AN m3 for years and have never felt the need to change it.
I borrowed a tvc and liked what it did so decided to take a punt on the Slagle.
The m3 isn't going back in my system
I guess it depends on your criteria for favourite, eg because you built or fixed it, sentimentality, most use, greatest contribution to the sound... The things I'd want to rescue if the house fell into a sink hole would be the Avondale M1 monoblocs since they brought my amp quest to an end and would be the hardest components to replace.

If the house fell into a sinkhole, stepping aside from the fact I'd be f**ked and h-fi would be the last thing on my mind, I would probably try to save the Krell, and some choice records.
If we are talking emotional attachment then I think my Technics SL1200 and Akai SW175 speakers even though neither gets used much. Always had a thing for the Teccy and the speakers are different and quite rare.
Current Lash Up:
TEAC VRDS 701T > Sony TAE1000ESD > Krell KSA50S > JM Labs Focal Electra 926.
Probably couldn't ever decide between the Tannoys or the Platine Verdier. But, if I'm being totally honest, I'd have to admit that the bit of kit that has most noticeably improved the music in recent years is a well-used old Moth record cleaning machine
