Back in the early '90s, the best car audio amps were made in the US of A. Even now, it's tough to beat the sound quality of an old-school jewel like the Linear Power 952i. Bone stock it put out 47.5 watts per channel, but a few mods pushed it to 65. The result is clean and dynamic sound. It's like having Mick and Keef riding shotgun, strumming 'Wild Horses' as I tear up my favorite back road. -Chuck Squatriglia

If the Swiss made toasters, they'd make them like this art deco beauty. The Toastmaster 1B5's bakelite handle depresses with a reassuring ratcheting sound, and a clock movement cheerfully tick-tick-ticks away inside. When the toast is done-medium, please-the spring releases with a friendly 'pop' that always brings a smile. I've owned many equally capable toasters, but none as beautiful as this one. -Chuck Squatriglia

One of the best parts of our jobs here at WIRED is that we get to test all the new things as soon as they come out. But we often only get a few days to play with something before having to write about it. That can be difficult-getting a clear assessment of an object's worth when you have to crank out a written review in less than a week. Some products only show their true colors after several weeks, months, or years to experience them, live with them, play with them, and wear them. That's what we've gathered here-things we've been testing and love, or the stuff from our lives that we own and never want to let go. This is the gear we want to take everywhere. This is the stuff we want to cook breakfast for. These are the things we love.
