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!

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.

Herself bought me an Ortofon 2M 78 so I can play a stack of inherited shellac.
