Is there one item you have been wishing for?

Is there one piece of kit you have hankered after for some time, if only you had the cash, you did'nt need to help with the kids college fees, etc?

I'll tell you mine, the Dartzeel CTH-8550 integrated amp. I have heard it several times at various shows. It is fast transparent, but no edge or glare at all, almost tube like in it's best sense. I would definitely buy one if I had the cash, but even second hand, it is more than I could afford.

What's your dream buy?

Want to get 2 balanced poweramps with balanced in/outs... So far only pro audio market has them. Gave a try to Crown 4000... turned out not as clean and newtral as I would expect. There used to be plenty of used Krell KAV250 for sale used, but now dissapeared.
Want to get Grace M903 headphone amp/preamp/DAC... I guess it's pretty modest compared to the previous requests.
Want to get phonostage with balanced inputs for <$500(R U Nutz or what?)
Want to launch a new line of audiophile products with balanced circuitries with profit of course.

I understand you asked about one component not the entire system.
Having one state of the art piece and junk by comparizon for the rest?
Well, I'll cheat a little. I would choose the best room I could find.
And without cheating, well, maybe LAMM reference amp.
That Swiss stuff would sound like junk by comparizon, by the way.
