Even if it’s not expensive, Is there a high quality item every serious enthusiast owns?

Or maybe it’s a highly prized holy grail item you’d give your right arm for.

Is there something you’ve had an eye on for a while and you’re just waiting for an excuse to treat yourself?

    Hm, professionally?

    A spectroradiometer for display calibration (Colorimetry Research or equivalent) and Minolta colorimeter

    Hobby wise: Not necessarily the pinnacle but a set of Magnepan speakers and an amp good enough to drive them. I just like the sound of them but not necessarily the peak for all enthusiasts.

    Also a Stax headphones with a matching high voltage driver. Again, a niche product that isn’t at the top of all headphone enthusiasts, but I like them. Alternative, Audeze LCD series. Guess the trend is that I like planars and electrostatics.
