What s your latest buy? Happy with it?

This months' upgrades: Sold my Toshiba TW40H80 and bought the Toshiba TW40X81 HDTV (same basic TV, new model) through AG, and couldn't be much happier. The trade over cost me $400, and now I have progressive scan and high definition. The improvement in DVD picture quality is a subtle, but clear one (pardon the pun), it just feels more like a theater experienc. Can't wait to get a high def source and really take her for a spin. Added the new Harmonic Tech 2 pin to iec adapter, and tried three different power cords, much improved audio, switched from Harmonic Tech Truthlink to the new H Tech Truthlink Silver. much improved audio. Morasp, I got the same response when I tried the Magic inteconnect, unfortunately I can't afford it yet, (other budget priorities) Good post Njonker. Seems that everyone is up to some cool trading. Great to hear about other members experiences. Keep those cards and lettters coming!

Just purchased a pair of Martin Logan ESL's. Even though I had to add a sub, what mid's and hi's! I'm in heaven!

A VPA 16.5 record cleaning machine. Where have you been all my life? Friends can't believe it's not butter (er CD.) vinyl is now so quiet...

I have recently become addicted to tube rolling with my computer room system (conrad johnson cav-50 integrated). Since tube rolling is out of the question with Audio Research CL-120 monoblocks(16, count em, 16 6550s) in the main system I have transformed the cj into 4 distinctly different sounds. Yes, I have signed myself into the tube asylum. With 6 systems in the house one of which is video dedicated I feel it is where I really belong. I seldom post here; but I do follow your forums.

I have had all kinds of stuff in and out of my system lately, cables costing big $ etc... the improvment that is on par with any of the expensive upgrades is Auric Illuminator CD treatment, if they could put that sound in a cable it would probably go for 2k. The best thing I have gotten lately is Chris Speed's new CD "emit" and Jim Black's new CD "alasnoaxis" and 57 other new CDs I picked up at Amoeba music in the Bay Area
