Equipment you just must get if you can

The truth is that very often I don't know what I am looking for until I find it. I often think about what level of performance I want rather than a specific component. Somewhat over a year ago when I was looking for a pair of newer speakers I was mainly looking at Sonus Faber Cremona. But before I found a pair at a good price I found my Gamut L5s so got those instead. I have been looking for a Naim DAC for a couple of years and made a couple of offers but never succeeded so I got a Rega this summer; it was very good but when I saw the HIFICRITIC review of the Metrum Octave I decided to take a chance on one; sold the Rega and ordered one. I had never heard of it before so although I wanted an upgraded dac I didn't know which one.

Stan, this is different but I know what you are saying, I think. For some reason I want to try Gryphon electronics and Echole cables. I have no idea why, but both are not even close to being within my reach.
And Michael Green speakers that I mentioned - I know exactly why I want them and theoretically I could afford them though I would have to skip breakfast and lunch for couple of months to pay for them.

Some equipment I heard at a fellow audio club member's has me reeling. Some of the best recorded music I've heard period. It was a Meridian system, well if you want to call it a system. A Control 15 and 7200 speakers, thats the whole system. The music server drives the speakers direct no preamp, power amp, ect, ect. Simple elegance, and sound to die for.

Tannoy Kingdom Royal is way out of reach for me, but having a pair would be my dream come true.
