For example, in the headphone world, the Sennheiser HE-1 headphones are said to be like the pinnacle of headphones and most expensive, costing $59000 for a pair.

In amateur radio, making an Earth-Moon-Earth contact. That means bouncing your signal off of the moon, basically using it as a satellite. You generally need a big antenna array to do it. Also you need a very high quality amplifier to receive since the signal you get back from the mood is very weak. You can hear an echo of yourself delayed about 2.6 seconds, since the moon is about 1.3 light seconds away.

Exchange diary, please don't make me explain
Fine, it's a thing underground idols and idol otaku do sometimes. It's a journal that is written in by the idol, then passed to the otaku when she sees him at the next show. He then writes in it and that the next show he attends he gives it back to her, and so on.

The irony with those is that once you're at a stage of life where you can afford those, you probably can't hear anything over 14kHz anyway.
At least there's that sweet midrange! -

I don't care what the other nerds say. This is the Holy Grail for me:

In photography: Global Shutter. So whenever you see object bending horizontally while they're moving, that's because most digital camera sensors have a rolling shutter.

Owning that super special version of Nintendo World Cup that they made for some tournament and only 4 copies in the entire world exist. And IIRC, James Rolfe (the Angry Video Game Nerd) owns 3 of them.

In the world of synthesisers, I’m going to say the Yamaha CS-80. Anyone who was introduced to synthesised music by listening to the Blade Runner soundtrack will recognise it. With its many tactile modulation options, it’s arguably the pinnacle of the synth as a performance instrument.

Captain Disillusion! Can't not comment on your excellent choice in explainer video.

Gunpla. That one rare, out-of-print kit that is only available on ebay for like $500. I have 3 grail kits, and fortunately, 2 of them are going to get reissued in the next 6ish months, and there's a fair chance the third one may be reissued in the near future as well.
Another one for me is Godhand SPN-120-L. They are considered to be the best nippers on the market, and this is the left-handed version. Unfortunately, they're only available on Godhand's official site, and they only ship to Japan.
