What Holiday Gifts did you ask for or Give to Yourself?

Gosh, where do I start? This December I got a Brinkmann Nyquist Mk II DAC, Graham Engineering Phantom III tonearm, 3-meter WW Platinum Eclipse 8 XLR’s and waiting for my Cardas Clear Beyond x2 tonearm cable. My VAC Master line stage is in Sarasota, FL for silver faceplates and the phono stage. I couldn’t forget my wife for allowing me to buy my toys, so she’s getting something colorless, shiny and more expensive than any of the equipment’s MSRPs.

The latest TV's have resolution that is attention grabbing.

I was in a few stores looking a at few models in the run up to the Holiday.

The TV Watcher has never had it so good.

Last Christmas.  Pro-ject Signature 10 turntable with  matte finish Burl Walnut plinth.  Stayed with Pro-ject for the phono amp RS and Sumiko Celebration 40 cartridge because they discount the "accessories" significantly.

A pair of SVS SB-1000 Pro Subs, to complement my Usher Mini Dancer 2's.  The Ushers already have pretty good bass, but the subs seem to give the sound more fullness and, in the right recordings, improved bass below 40 Hz.  Still tweaking, but already a noticeable improvement.
