What do you own that is TOTL?

Well played sir!
I have had a lot of the "TOTL" Receivers, SX1250,1010, Sansui Eight, and many others but I have not ran a receiver in well over a decade, well a stereo SS unit that is. I did have my Fisher 500 mono connected to a set of L-100s last night so I guess the 500 was TOTL when new.
I don't really have a lot of TOTL stuff but I have a lot of rare stuff.
Sinus 44F
Quicksilver KT Monos - Custom from QS serial #34 & 35
HK Citation 1&2
Sansui AU-111 - I guess this is TOTAL
Stromberg Carlson AP-428's Monoblocks
Linn Tables, multiple of them with external PS's
Random Sony ES gear
IKD i have to much random crap to list it out. Cool thread tho!!!

You don’t have a list of all your stuff that you can just copy and paste? I keep a growing list of all the serial numbers of the junk I own. Would need a good bit of editing to remove gear I no longer have, though.
I do not, I have roughly 60 tube amp, and maybe 4-5 SS amps and 10 or so sets of speakers, 10 or so tables, maybe 5-6 cassette decks and CD players and the list of odds and ends is to long to list.

Computers made this list easy to keep up with, just open the document add data and store. Sure beats my original sheet of serial numbers from a typewriter, probably copied from a hand written page.
Hopefully I’ll never need the list for insurance reasons. But it is nice to know what I have owned over the decades.
Yea I use to keep a log of items in a small notepad but maybe one day ill make an accurate list.

1986 Sansui AU-X901 international amp. Not 'the #1' TOTL but it's up there!! Exactly the amp I wanted - Sansui's first Alpha. Functions PERFECTLY!!
1980 Sansui SR-838 TT with original headshell. (Sansui's other TOTL TT - SR-929. It's just whichever style you like). Both TOTL.
1980 NOS Ortofon M20FL Super MM cart. I bought the last NOS on the planet (from Germany) - just got super lucky. It's a dream cart.
1980s NOS GX-100 TT rack. TOTL? It's the exact rack I wanted. RARE. (Bought it used on eBay - it arrived NOS, box never opened.
1980 NOS PS107C "High-Efficiency" pro series stereo cables and 3 pairs of "High-Efficiency" NOS interconnects. Most Excellent!!
It's all BIG FUN!!

The problem with buying "TOTL" stuff is that someone comes out with another "Even Better TOTL," seemingly the next day.
Sort of an iPhone thing.

My wife calls it a sickness.
I bought the PC4002M out of the middle of that rack a it still holds 2 Yamaha PC5002m’s which I’m hoping to follow up with.

Well, I do have a Sony TA-ZH headphone amp. Which I believe is still their top-of-the-line.
It is the best headphone amp I've ever owned. Very reliable (knock on wood).

Dude. Save some for the rest of us!
TOL gear I own is a Yamaha CA-2010 I bought 20 years ago at the local Salvation Army for $9.99. It didn't work but someone here on AK talked me through trouble shooting and repair. Bad caps on the protection board. Pioneer SX-1010. Purchased on the auction site about 22 years ago for $120. It had bad caps on the power supply board. Yamaha A-1000 purchased new in 1984. I still own all three and all are still working.

Beat me to it. I actually searched the thread for wife/partner so I wasn't 'that' guy who posted the same answer.
Well done.
