What would it be? Maybe you feel like you should never go back.
If I could pick only one, it would be my old KSA-50, but there are plenty items I'd have again.
Maybe be there's a product you'd never have back. HB1s Spring to mind for me, as do several Marantz players.

Well as you didn't specify what in particular the one thing could be, then I would like my youth back . . .

Brilliant! Wish I'd thought of that. Take me back to age 21 and give me the hifi from that year (1987) and I'd be in bliss!

I thought of that too, but thought it was a bit off topic so didn't mention it!
The one bit of gear I should have kept was a pair of speakers that I bought from a friend. He was leaving the country to go and work as an audio enginer in Japan. He had been working for B&W and the story was that he had bought them when he was there, and that they had been John Bowers' own pair that he used to try things out with, so rather non standard. They were based on the DM-3s and went through Coles super tweeters like crazy so I never really got to know them very well, leaving them on the landing of our old house until we moved. They are decomposing in some Nottinghamshire landfill as we speak.
I would like to have had the ability to get them going and to find out what exactly had been done to them.

A Braun TG-60 R2R I had back in the 80s (mentioned in another thread .. ) A thing of refined beauty and a great recorder that I had loads of fun with - despite a mechanical problem that I could probably now fix  Also a diddy Uher portable cassete deck that I used to record gigs with, even though I doubt the SQ would even come close to a modern digital equivalent the engineering was just awesome.. |

I've gone back to previously loved gear a few times, but it is usually a mistake. I tend to hear the idiosyncrasies that finally made me move it on immediately! The only real exception I can think of is a Krell KAV250a power amp - I just knew it would work brilliantly with my then recently acquired MBL speakers - I was right! So, no, I don't have anything that I hanker going back to - if there was, I'd buy one!  |

I'm with Jerry here, there isn't anything I have moved on that I miss, everything is replaceable
