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.

@dvddesigner I replaced and old Arkiv B with a Kandid in 2021- The Kandid is an excellent cartridge; I'm using it with a Kore subchassis and I'm sure a Keel is a rock solid foundation. 

 

@jerrybj Thanks for the info.  Looks like a nice Lpu.  But I didn't see a switch.  Found out one thing.  You can just keep adding.  Pretty soon it adds up to real money.

Happy New Year!
