What equipment have you bought this year so far ?


I have bought three pieces: Grado RS1 Classic headphones, Burson Audio Soloist headamp/preamp and Purist Audio Aquila power cord. All used. Oh yes, I also have got two sealed Maxell Metal Vertex clank cassette tapes.

This is the year I went crazy and dived in deep for a 2 channel system.
- Martin Logan Motion 40 Towers- Vincent SV-500 Integrated- Questyle CMA400i DAC- Moon by Simaudio 110lp V2 Phono Pre-Amp
- Ortofon 2M Blue Cartridge for the Denon DP-300F TT- AudioQuest Speaker Cables Type 4- Custom Built HTPC
Next Up, better interconnects, Power Conditioner and some room acoustic treatments and then I'm done for a little while.
I am enjoying everything though, so I guess it's worth it.

***Everything in the top half of this post is now gone, except for the Emotiva and Mod Squad. The Schiit is also gone, but looking for another one. For good reason (a discussion for another time perhaps), but I guess I’ve seriously had the Audio bug this year, haven’t I :)


After purchasing a McIntosh MC302 amp early in the year, I recently purchased two pairs of Nordost Red Dawn Leif Series Interconnects.  One for each McIntosh tuner in both of my systems. 
In the spring I purchased a used Node 2. Beginning of summer I purchased a pair of used Spendor S3/5's to see if I enjoyed British mini monitors, 4 weeks after that I picked up a very gently used pair of Graham Chartwell LS3/5's. 
  
  I'm done for the year.
