I tried to resist this thread...  Ok, I'm only counting synthesizers,
samplers, and drum machines.  No drums, guitars, effects, mixers, amps,
patchbays, CV/gate converters, etc.

Currently:

Ensoniq ESQ-1 (master keyboard)
Ensoniq Mirage (rack, recent addition with SoundProcess OS)
Multimoog (the best tone I currently have, just amazing...)
Behringer Model D
Oberheim OB-8 (Encore Midi, Jurgen Haible square wave mod)
Siel DK600 (needs repair)
Akai MPC2000 (10-output, int. effects option)
Yamaha RX7
Behringer BCR2000 knob controller (ok, it's not a synth)

Previously owned and resold:

Ensoniq ESQ-1 (two or three of them before the current one)
Yamaha SY99 (expanded sample memory)
Roland Jupiter-8 (Encore Midi)
Elektron SIDstation
Korg Polysix
Korg EX8000
Yamaha V50 (first ever synth! I miss it...)
Akai AX60
Oberheim OB-Xa (arrived from Australia damaged...<sob>...<tear>...)  :-(
Oberheim OB-8 (different than the current one, also arrived broken, grr!)
Casio CZ-1

Future (higher priority):

Synthesizers.com modular
Korg Trident mkI
Roland SH-3a
Roland SH-7
Oberheim OB-Xa or OB-X
Chroma Polaris
Teisco/Kawai 100F
Casio FZ series sampler (any of them, rack model if possible)
Sequential Pro-One
Oberheim Matrix-1000
Yamaha V50 (I'll get another one someday; they're cheap)

Lower priority, maybe:

Emax I rack
Ensoniq ASR-10
Ensoniq TS-10
Ensoniq VFX-SD
Roland MKS-70
PPG Wave
Roland RS-505
Yamaha AN1x

And now you have my entire past/current/future shopping list...
