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

Decisive moments your your audio journey
I read so many times that elevating speaker cables has positive effect on sound, Never read once someone who heard the effect saying he liked it before vs after. (Of course, there are naysayers but I am excluding them) So I did elevate my cables a... 
How important is it that all cables come from the same manufacturer?
I love to mix. Much more fun. Actually not just in audio. Cable-wise I prefer the best effort from small guys to entry or mid level from big guys.  
Do good power cords have to be stiff?

Products you added to your system in 2021 that made most impact to your music enjoyment
Schumann Resonance generator. I paid under $20 including shipping from China. It has acrylic housing, without it it was near 10 bucks. Now that completes my quest. All I have left is to enjoy music. Special thanks to @mahgister whose writing inspi... 
Adding a “safe haven” forum for discussion of tweaks?
I'd like three buttons: like (thumb up), dislike (thumb down) as YouTube, and hide (ignore) as FaceBook. That way each has control over his/her own timeline viewing.  
Ridiculous assertions that someone is being ripped off or conned
I've invested unusual amount of time and energy on this thread for my norm. I'd like to end it with a single quote from Mark Twain. The interpretation is entirely up to each. “It is better to keep your mouth closed and let people think you are...

Ridiculous assertions that someone is being ripped off or conned
I never had to research how the food I consumed going through my internal organs and my body takes nutrients and lets out garbage. I go to my favorite restaurant and order my favorite dish to enjoy, never questioning how the cook cooked it and why... 
Ridiculous assertions that someone is being ripped off or conned
I once defended Geoff and his Clever Little Clock in another thread and I am gonna do it one more time. I bought one in 2008. Before I ordered one I talked with Geoff over the phone and I thought he was a nice gentleman. And the clock worked for m... 
The Most Cost Effective Tweak
@rc22My way of thinking: I paid for the 7 tracks with total 19 minutes, not the single track of 5 minutes. Might as well employ them all. Besides, to me 20 minute walkabout is preferable to 5 minute one ;) ..and so easy to do. 
The Most Cost Effective Tweak
I recently got Ayre Acoustics Irrational But Efficacious (IBE) Burn-in CD online. It cost me $20 plus a little less than $4 for shipping. It has 7 tracks and total length is 19 minutes. I just put it in the CD player, press play button and take a ...
