What'd You Get For Xmas?


Jewish, so I got my Hanukah gift weeks ago: A NOS quad of 1960s Raytheon 5842/417A windmill getter tubes for my phono preamp! Heaven! Unbelievable improvement in the sound stage from the WE 417A I had in there. Tube upgrades always make me happy!

We & the neighbors regularly launch into an orgy of chocolate and cookie sharing.

$2,200 to look after my cat Poopy's abscess tooth.

Not exciting for me, but I am pretty sure he will appreciate it.

Merry Christmas everyone.

Junior Wells Hoodo Man Blues and a Hudson HiFi record cleaning kit which is excellent especially considering it’s price.

A pair of slippers that won't stay on my feet. A pair of boots that are guaranteed to keep my feet warm while ice fishing. They look ridiculously large but it's miserable when your feet get cold. 

I was able to sell some gear that I had listed on FB a couple days ago; the proceeds from which I plan on buying a good used DAC. 

I cooked a dinner of roast duck and roasted brussels sprouts finished with balsamic vinegar honey glaze, fresh beets and steamed beet greens for my wife and my mother who lives with us. Quiet day. 

Merry Christmas.
