What's the Holy Grail item in your hobby?

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.
came to say original arp 2600. or an og tr-808/909

3 other cool nerds to play board games with consistently.
Are you calling yourself cool? That's so not cool.

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.

Maybe he already has one cool nerd and is looking for a few more.

Judging by the size of that dude's forearms, it can be implied he had experienced the "big O" many a time
-
And IIRC, James Rolfe (the Angry Video Game Nerd) owns 3 of them.
Wait, really?
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.

wrote last edited by [email protected]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.

In cycling I would say the tools needed to replace a flat tyre.
Pair of tire levers and a new tube is what, $20?

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.
A surefire way to get people to ask is to tell them not to ask.

OK, but explain?
I edited it.

Explain!
I edited it.

Self confidence is in fact very cool. And I'll convince you over a game of Agricola.

My hobby is (or rather was) collecting Seiko watches.
I stopped buying watches, but my holy Grail would be "The" Pogue. The original 6139-6005 yellow face automatic chronograph worn by Col. William Pogue on the Skylab mission.
Other than the NASA issued Omegas, this was his personal watch that he just took with him into space, as NASA didn't want the Astronauts to take their Speedmasters home and so they couldn't train as much with them.
This also was the first automatic chronograph in space, as no one had tried before if they would work without gravity (surprise, they did, as momentum is still very much a thing in space).
Here is a very nice write up by a very knowledgeable guy:
