Recommend an "adiophile worthy" pen?

Off topic, but the high end pen market is just as prolific as stereo. Any recommendations?
I've been looking at Cross, Waterford Kilbarry WF/452/GBL, Sensa, and even "Visconti Homo Sapiens: the first pen ever to be forged from volcanic lava from Mt. Etna in Sicily Italy."

Must add... I just did a web search of Cross pens (sets) & they do have them in 18k, so, from a 14kt gf to 18kt is only a $5K difference. So flaunt it if you've got it. (Hate to lose one!)

They were pressing ash trays out of the lava when I was there back in '79.

You mentioned the Visconti HS. I have an HS bronze with power filler, and it is an amazing pen, but on the pricey side.

If you're interested in fountain pens, you might want to check the reviews on: fpgeeks.com. The HS is reviewed, along with many, many others. Good source for ink reviews, too. Another worthwhile site is fountainpennetwork.com,

Good luck!
