Gear NOT in your audio system - what do you like?

I read a similar thread awhile ago that I really enjoyed, but can't seem to locate it now.

Many of us have consumed considerable time and $$$ assembling our audio systems. I wonder what favorite gear we would share with eachother if limited by two rules:
1) the component can not currently be in your system (mitigates "pride of ownership" bias), and
2) you must have had first-hand experience with the component sufficient to form a credible opinion (second-hand experience via published reviews don't count!).

I was exposed to the JM Lab Be Utopia line (Utopia, Alto, and Nova) at my local dealer, driven by CJ amps. They deliver a very different perspective of music compared to my system (I am happy with my system). I really enjoy listening to music on the Utopias! Another local dealer has the Alon Lotus Elites - another treat...

What gear do you like, that you don't currently own?

There is an ongoing difference between the camp that wants us to go to DVD-A or SACD and the other camp that wants to improve red bood cd reproduction.
As a cheapskate who does not want to replace my software,I'm in the later camp.
I'm intrigued by the dac approaches being pioneered by 47
Labs and Scott Nixon,to name two. I look forward to see(hear) what products evolve from the non oversampling dac camp.
