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!

I got the gift of spending another Christmas with my 83 yo Mom.  My Dad, he is watching from above.  :)   

Audio by Van Alstine (AVA) Vision Set 400 Amplifier. Purchased from a lovely fellow right here on Audiogon! Just arrived today.

I was hoping to get my Pathos heritage that I ordered 3+ months ago and the 2 Solid-Tec  Reference Rack of Silence  but nothing but silence from Upscale Audio.

I contacted Solid-Tec buy they washed their hands. Buying in the USA is a nightmare, it is like nobody cares.


My partner got a Techdas AF one premium with the titanium platter, that was set up On the 23rd with a Etsuro Gold. 
 

It was an awesome Christmas, there were just a few presents for her but nothing major, after everyone left I asked her to listen some music with me and she got so happy when she saw the TT. 
it is an incredible turntable 

I received a pair of slippers, some sweatpants, and a self-help book.

I gave out a USB DAC, a pair of IEMs, and a pair of wireless headphones.
