Which of your component purchases was "magical"?

Or better -- "What component purchase had you digging out all of your favorite recordings, late into the night, just to relish in a new level of reproduction?"

We have all heard, read & sometimes experienced this occasional audio "revelation" from time to time. My question is which rare component/purchase did this for you?

(BTW - one of my earliest and most memorable was the first time I heard my Well Tempered TurnTable, after coming off a mid-fi table, some years ago...;>)

My new (new for me) Pass Labs X1 preamp has completely blown me away. My sound stage has exploded, sounds are coming for WAY outside of my speakers. Sounds are coming from the left, right, behind, and in front of my speakers ..... I guess that's what they mean when they say "your speakers disappear".

CDP: MF A5
Speakers: Spendor 9
Amp: MF a308cr
All cables & interconnects: Analysis Plus Oval 9's

Krellcoda- You're right, the nod would be to obvious. Just wink if she made you write that.
