    In cycling I would say the tools needed to replace a flat tyre.

          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.

              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.

                    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.

                                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.

                                Out of curiosity, what would you plug those into to get the best use of them? I couldn't imagine the headphone jack on my motherboard would be able to take full advantage of them.

                                      In the episode he did on it he had to borrow it from Pat the NES Punk. Of course that was 14 years ago, so I assume he could have gotten his hands on them since.

                                          I had the pleasure of using some at Sennheiser's booth at CES a few years back. They sound VERY nice, but I don't think they're worth $59k. Maybe 8k or something, although I know a lot of the cost is in the tubes and accessories.
