The Stereo Ultra in dual mono is close but I can give up some power.
200 w into 4 ohms is plenty for my use.
2022 Audio System Wish List and thoughts about streaming
I've been doing this at the end of December for years for a number of years now- so here goes one more time-
What is on your audio wish list for the coming year?
For several years I anticipated the need to replace an aging (close to 20 year old) phono cartridge- I finally did that in 2021. I also changed the power supply for my turntable. I'm extremely pleased with my turntable. A friend gave me a slightly damaged but fully functional McIntosh subwoofer as well. All other gear is unchanged and with no desire to change anything.
I also bought a Bluesound Node which I am enjoying quite a bit. My ultimate goal is to use the Node in a bedroom system and go for a different streaming transport in my main listening area. I'm looking at the "usual suspects" - Aurender, Auralic, Lumin, etc.
As far as adding new music, getting into streaming (I use Qobuz) has caused a musical explosion! Since getting the Node in September I've built a library of about 90 new to me albums.

It was a reasonable year in the salt mine…..have some DIY projects that may pan out, or not…no expectation bias..they are not inexpensive at $1k but why get jacked up about unheard hyperbole ? Probably buy a couple more vintage microphones for the studio i help with, tube power supply for the direct drive TT…certainly lots of records…hopefully God willing a ton of $ on great seats for live music at the Belly Up…my neighborhood “ bar “….. Blessed and grateful really.. |
