401 for me.
I bought it sometime in the mid 2000's at a time when I really had to save for it. Eventually I could afford a slate plinth and gradually added to it bit by bit. Over the years I have performed periodic maintenance including a recent idler wheel bearing replacement.

Me. I'm the oldest component in my system.
Why? Because all the rejuvenation spells and potions had failed so far. Even dancing naked round stones circles late at night failed to deliver the required upgrade to my audiophile system. So I'm stuck with these ears - built in the sixties and ugly to boot.

I use a Garrard 301 (1959) with a Sugden A21 (1967) with a pair of Klipsch Fortes, it is the least fatiguing and enjoyable set up I have ever owned.

My system used to be period correct for 1970s every bit of the way, even including the phono cartridge - not by design, just by accident. But now it's 2000s cartridge in a 1970s arm in a 1960s turntable going into 1980s phono stage to 1950s amplifier So I've got every decade from 1950s to 2000s covered... (or actually I think the cartridge might be from 2010, not sure)
Anyway, oldest components are a pair of Pye Mozart HF10 amplifiers, made in 1958 judging by the date codes on the valves and capacitors. Using them as my main amps.
1970 Pioneer CS-77A speakers or equally vintage Technics SP10 MK2.
They just do what I want them to an I enjoy them immensely. Why change them, nothing I have heard makes me want to.

1675019-kef-reference-103-original-series-speakers.jpgCurrently a pair of 1970's KEF 103 reference speakers , they sound excellent , you can push them close to the wall and if you turn up the volume they can boogie with the best.
