Audiolab 8000A
Some audio products never seem to get old and can hold up over years and decades. Give us an example of timeless design for an audio product.
Tubes, high efficiency speakers, and vinyl. Transistors have had their day, and it was a terrible, horrible, no good, and very bad one at that. While solid-state devices have gotten better since the dark days of the seventies, they have yet to best a single-ended triode, IMHO. 2A3 tubes are still around many, many decades after their introduction and they still make some of the finest music. Klipsch still sells the Klipschorn which will rock out even with flea powered amps 2A3 SET amps. As for vinyl, the CD still can't beat 180 gm vinyl, except in convenience. Other timeless products include LS3/5a monitor speakers, Quad ESL electrostatic speakers, Dynaco ST-70 amplifiers, McIntosh MC275 amplifiers and, of course, Marantz 8B amplifiers.
I'm still enjoying my Acouatat 2+2s (front) and 1+1s (rear) speakers as well as my Sota turntable. This is 1980s era equipement but I am as happy with them now as when I bought them. Granted, my selections may not be everyone else's cup of tea, but I'm certain that many fellow audiophiles have made similar purchases that have stood the test of time.
