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.

2022 Plans:

Firstly, reconnect my system with many unheard changes this year (new streamer, network switch, linear power supplies, recapped amp, fuses, ethernet cables, USB cable, coax cables, USB/SPIDF converter).

Then, replace/upgrade DC cables for linear power supplies, buy a LAN isolator, perhaps another grounding box.

If I sell some extra gear, may investigate Roon via John Darko's video.

Oh yeh, and try out Qobuz.

 

I don't listen to Robert

A stand alone streamer. With an app conducive to android and ease of use. 

 

Neither Mrs. nor Mr. Howell.

I would like some room treatments and possibly new speakers, maybe Dynaudio.

I am fairly all in on my Linn LP12 and just need to add the Keel sub chases and Kandid cartridge to bring it all the way up. Very happy where it is now however.

 

May get a Degritter for vinyl cleaning.

 

Perhaps an Audi A6 All-road or Audi Q8 depending if I can find the right one.
