I check the sites every day and it's never here!!!

Just curious, what audio gear do you look for, on these sites, every day, and it's never here?  Let's keep it to items you want to add directly to your system for the perceived improvement you expect sound-wise, excluding those items you want for the sake of collecting.

 

I've been looking for a couple vintage Wollf Audio power cords, the BOHICA and the Viola.  I have a single BOHICA w/acrolink plugs and it is EXACTLY the sound I want and usually is quite affordable....and never available.

With the million different ways people configure their systems. I find it amazing that you can even find what you’re looking for in the used section.

It is no surprise here that you can no longer source these old bespoke power cables. 

These esoteric power cables had their popularity and availability starting way back in 2000 . This reigned for a limited time and with limited units volume popularity for a short period thereafter.

Another audio forum post also highlighted Michael Wolff’s demise a sizeable number of years ago,

TAKEAWAY: IMO, best of luck to you, but this appears to is a failing quest reality check. 
@gkelly  has a good point that quarter century old-ish cables product availability in the pre-owned marketplace today is forever limited / rare  at best,

Grover Huffman and Michael Wolff collaborated, I believe, for a while.  I have Huffman's Pharaoh balanced interconnects (I had him install Oyaide Focus1 xlr in place of the stock gold plated xlrs) and they're quite good. I had planned on getting the Pharaoh power cord but heard these are a copper only design.  I really like the sound of silver ribbons.  Anyway, just felt like venting a bit.  Thought others might as well and it would be interesting to see the range of those items.  Thanks for your input
