Is there any one piece of vintage gear you most wished you owned?

STAX CP-Y and ECP-1. Loved the line input phono set up.

....oh and the audiogirl in the OPs profile photo? ;)

 Nakamichi Dragon,I have 3 Nakamichi but not a Dragon..I do own lots of vintage stereo equipment. 

OP,

Happily, you only cost me $500. for the pair of AR-2ax speakers I just bought/fixed. Happily they fit in my office, and sound great with my little 10wpc Luxman Tube Amp. (they are not very efficient). so, out with the small Wharfedales and Sub, in with these.

I posted photos of the speakers and crossover work here

Glad you got me to do this, I’ve missed them since they were stolen in 1973.

Make that 'You Cost Me $750'.

After I got them in place, a good listen to familiar music, I discovered 1 tweeter is blown. I requested and seller gave a partial refund.

So, a pair of new tweeters, might as well put 4 new level controls, so now the total will be $740. Luckily I can do this myself.

Actually, I'm kinda glad it happened this way.
