What did YOU get for Christmas?

I needed to have two major surgeries in late October and had most of my spine fused (T8 to L4). I had to give up my lowest left rib, but in the trade, I gained about 2 inches in height and I can walk without pain for the first time, since I was 17 (I'm 46 now). So, I made out pretty OK .

Anticipating a long recovery, I bought myself: about 50 CDs; 20 DVDs; a Creek OBH 11 headphone amp; some Sennheiser HD 600 headphones; and a Canon LiDe 80 scanner (I plan to scan 30 years worth of photographs onto discs).

Peace and Good Health to All!

Regards, Rich

money toward amplifier upgrade next month

The best present of all, great new music, the following CD's from the wife...

Alison Krauss, Forget about it
Vince Guaraldi, Cast your Fate to the Wind
Old & in the Gray
Chet Baker, My Funny Valentine
Dave Matthews, Some Devil
Art Pepper, Meets the Rhythm Section

Happpy holidays to everyone!

Sennheiser HD580 headphones, Pink Floyd's "Dark Side of the Moon" SACD, AC/DC's "Live At Donnington" DVD....and a really nice pair of gloves!

I went to "The Sharper Image" and decided to buy the top-of-line D-EJ2000 Portable CD Player and use my Pro35 Titanium headphones with it. Now, just as long as I don't get nuts and get another "upgrade itch" with an EAR Tube Headphone Amp and Grado RS-1 or 2's, I'll have some x-tra $$$$ for my mono amp upgrades at Musical Concepts, ugh !!!
