To order myself a Faraday Beanie to protect my brain and mind from EMF.

Have you guys seen these? We do it for our gear, why not our noggins?

Probably also good against alien/government mind control.

Listen to more records.

Possibly phono stage to fit the quality of the Rega Naia with Aphelion2. Looking for suggestions.

Maybe some new floorstanders. I keep going back to the Philharmonic Audio BMR towers.

For 2025 I have two goals.

1 Find time to listen to my current audio rig

2 Listen to my current audio rig without a desire to upgrade (appreciate what I have) and enjoy the music.

Since the amp that drive the 12" woofers on my Altec's died this morning, My first goal will be to find a replacement. The joys and setbacks of the hobby.

A happy new year to all of you.

Guess I'm the only one smart enough to have bought a Faraday Beanie...

HAPPY AND BLESSED NEW YEAR!

I am ashamed to say that now i want one to improve my brain work !

Happy new year  with good health and some good surprize for you at some corner...

Bonne Annee' Mon ami!

One of those new Mcintosh/Sonus faber mini systems by Bose.  

Speakers amps and tvs quite a few to refurnish my house pieces to be determined 

@luvtubes69 

Never any interest in Mc / Sonus Fabre, maybe They / Bose will come up with a new walkman idea…👍 

Cheers in the New Year !

I wish for the mythical Caladans to show up at my front door.

Been searching for weeks. All I want is a DACless (preferably) streamer under $1000can, ample connections, preferably not Chinese and an excellent UI that works. Compliments my Chord Qutest DAC, Bryston amplification and  Dynaudio speakers. I've given up on sound signature attributes other than I'm old and allergic to glare etc.

Just a simple streamer that works. I've read many times that Bluesound sonic signature is lifeless and I don't need multi-room anything and some are not fond of the UI. Wiim - Chinese plastic of questionable quality- one owner had RCA's breaking from the board. Etc etc.   Btw, I'm mostly looking at pre-owned. 

The search continues.

@ironrick6  Save you money and buy this or keep an eye on the used market. I piece I wish I kept.

DIY build of new main system small tower speakers using the highest quality efficient single drivers that are reasonably affordable….the plan is to build a 45”x10”x14” bass reflex cabinet using the Hungarian made Solido 6x9 Field Coil drivers with power supply.  Should be a fun eye (and ear) opening project in 2025!  Cheers to another great year in Audio!

I will wish it were still the summer of 2024

Wow, thank you for the suggestion. I saw the DAC a while back and it was a great deal. I'll definitely add this  to my searching. Happy New Year!

An end game amplifier,DAC/Streamer & speaker cables worthy of my Harbeth M30.2Xd's...

@ironrick6   Primare NP5 is $750.

Re new gear in ‘25, I’d like finally to purchase an ultrasonic LP cleaner - hesitant to pay the premium for a degritter, so trying to decide between Humminguru and Kirmuss.  

@ricred1 Get the Amplitude 16.

My wishlist includes another pair of Wilson watch surrounds or Alitas. Ideally ,2 sets. Im also looking at getting either Sasha 2 or Sasha DAW, though I keep looking at Yvettes, but I am convinced I need to have the adjustable Mid and HF.

Thank you!!!

I just figured out how to respond in a thread. My New Years resolution accomplished!

Or not. lol

adsell,

I sent you a PM. 

Just that we get a final electrical inspection and a certificate of occupancy this week for our new home in Tennessee AND that I find time in 2025 to finish my “man cave”/audio room/office and get my HiFi set up again.

Also considering a Denafrips 15th Gen DAC to work into my system, but am generally happy with the Topping D90LE with BT as I use my iPhone13 for a streamer off my library and Pandora.
