2023 Audio System Wish List

Listen More, systems done.

I'm retired, and house bound, more time than ever: but I got an infection in my foot, got in the bone, that's no joke. Now I am on antibiotics for 6 weeks, 2 weeks left. (pressurized bag in your pocket, for 2 hours each day, not the biggest hardship).

13 days in hospital earlier, you don't realize how much strength you lose, I got home, fell down twice, that bummed me out. Even your ankles get weak, lose your balance, no ankle strength to prevent the fall.

Excercise, got some strength, still been bummed out. look at my system, lp's scattered on the table, eh, watch stupid TV until my ass hurts. Read some.

When friends come, typically 1/week, a listening we go, but holidays, people are with their families.

I inherited 4,000 LP's, lots I want to play, and if unliked, give or sell. Just lost my energy, plus gotta keep my foot up a lot.

Not wanting pity, but it feels good to unload!

@elliottbnewcombjr You'll get through it. Spend some time thinking about what you want to do after you've recovered!

I will be looking to upgrade my transport.

Possibly have Aric upgrade my Aric Audio Special preamp. 

Maybe Backert preamp or Audio Research ref series? Or more music really.

I am going to purchase the new Taket Live supertweeter, want to see if it will take the SQ up further vs the Batpro 2s I presently have. Also, I am going to buy at least 1 set of Neodio Origine B2 Acoustic Purifiers. I have 2 sets of the original B1s and use them as footers under 2 of my integrated amps, in both cases a noticeable improvement in SQ. There's a review of the B2s by Roy Gregory on Gy8 if you have any interest in checking them out.

Not sure that I really want to go down the new amp route but if i do probably will look at either a Neodio Origine A2 integrated amp, or a Circle Labs A200 integrated amp.
