What were your favorite gear additions in 2024?

Linear Tube Audio MZ2. I bought it used for a great price and got lucky to boot. It's one of the last ones built and the circuitry is closer to the MZ3. Just a beautiful sounding piece.

Bryston 3B Cubed. An upgrade to my Parasound A23+. 

SVS PB2000 PRO Sub. 

PD Creative LPS for my Node 2i. 

Marchand Electronics Balanced HPF.  Part of my experiment with low end control. No longer using it in favor of a another unit.

White Instruments Model 4856 Active Equalizer. This replaced the HPF. It has a HPF built in. 

I also built new crossovers for my Vintage JBL 4311s. 

Lots of new records.

A PS Audio Airlens and DirectStream DAC Mk 1. I finally started streaming and this combo sounds great and made it easy. 

Wow, lots of nice new gear - congrats! 

Much to my chagrin, I've had nearly no time for audiophilia this year.  But, recently managed to pick up a mint Sutherland 20/20 phono pre to replace my Phonomena II.  So far, with limited listening time not a huge difference but an upgrade IMO.  Slightly smoother presentation and dead quiet.  I think I'd like a little more oomph though.  Maybe try a MC cart on my Rega p6?  Or perhaps a tube pre?

Some nice vinyl finds also. 

Looking forward to scrounging some more listening time in '25.
