Even if it's not expensive, Is there a high quality item every serious enthusiast owns?
Or maybe it's a highly prized holy grail item you'd give your right arm for.
Is there something you've had an eye on for a while and you're just waiting for an excuse to treat yourself?

For guitarists you have either the 100% analog guys that can spend tens of thousands on a collection of amps, or the ones that went more digital with modelers. The big ones being the Kemper, Fractal, Nueral DSP and Line 6. I have the Quad Cortex and it's a killer, thought I wish the rate of updates was a little faster.
Tube amps always sound better. Just saying.
Can we tell which category I fall into?

Forearms that can carry a boogie stack from the van to the stage by their damned selves.
That category.
You know what? Fair enough.
I pined over the Dual Rev G when I could actually use one as a gigging guitarist in the 90's - but, as a gigging guitarist, I couldn't afford one.
Now I have a bad back, but it's a Marshall bad back. So I guess it all worked out.
I like to split the difference and use one of those nutube amps, I got a voxmv50 AC and it works very well for what I do. Tube purists will stick their noses up, modeling people will gawk at the lack of features, but for someone who doesn't even use reverb or delay it's perfect. (Plus it weighs nothing!)
If it sounds good, I’m into it. I’ve seen really, really expensive amps sound horrible, and relatively cheap ones sound great. But pretty universally, I prefer tubes amps sound.
