Were you naughty or nice? What did Santa bring you! Audio related only please!

Folks,
I should say, I got pretty luck this year!
I have a friend who has finally decided to take a lunge into this wonderful hobby. He went around a couple of shops and listened to a few speakers from Revel and Paradigms. I got him in touch with my dealer to discuss further. Triangles, Totems and Martin Logans were added to the list. My friend has 0 CD/LPs and is practically starting from scratch. I have suggested that he should go with the Marantz PM700M for amplification and streaming. Looking at either Audio Envy or Signal Cables for speaker cables. I think I am more exited about his future system than he is :-)

I spend a lot of time sitting and listening and after 3-4 years now, my Barcelona Chair just wasn't cutting it any more. On a lark, on the 24th, I went to Scandinaviandesigns.com and tried out some recliners for a good hour or so, ignoring everyone and just settling in for some serious sitting.

I went in with a set price in mind and while talking to store rep, he told me that everything was 20% off (until 12/30), even the mark downs and clearance sales. With that in mind, I scouted for bigger game and ended up with this: https://scandinaviandesigns.com/products/rullar-medium-manual-recliner

Not only does it recline, it swivels and it's a glider-rocker as well that can be locked into place, but I love that it does all three. It doesn't look as plush as a Stressless, which they have in store as well, but it's just as comfortable and half the price. Plus, its a manual and not a power recliner so it's lighter and more reliable as well. Of the two color choices, I went for the cognac. 👍

And, if anyone thinks I'm crazy for spending that much on a chair, I was going to buy a power conditioner and was ready to spend that much on one until I raised my cables and then I was going to buy a new watch or something equally useless but my rear end won out over my wrist.

All the best,
Nonoise

I am in the market for a new chair as my old sofa is now exactly that .... Old!
$1500 is not outrageous at all for everything it does and non power is my preference.... If powered I would likely have to tweak it with a fuse......

And I got a cabinet full of watchs already.
I use my phone all the time ( sic).

If powered I would likely have to tweak it with a fuse......

Santa brought me a Bob Latino VTA ST 120 and  Marantz 5005 CD player!
