Best audio purchase of 2011


Let us know what was your best purchase this year.

I will start, found from a local dealer the Krell combo: Reference 64 DAC with the DT-10 transport. for those who are skeptical that ancient digital technology is easily surpased with new stuff, listening to this combo changed my mind. This was one of, if not the only piece of equipment which after trying out, and then reading the Stereophile review, i actually heard and agreed as to what the reviewer was raving about.

A Tranquility DAC hooked up to a mac mini. I've been listening to folkalley.com almost non-stop. I'm loving it.

Listening to a well recorded cd is a sublime experience!
you are the 3rd person that I know use all BL. My friend started me on them and I have BL 2 and 1. Do you have any idea what the new generation of BL +, II+ sounds like compare to the old generation. I talked to Walter but he only indicated that it is faster.
