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


I have been too busy to even think about what I would have asked for or given myself. One of my friends is going Buck Wild giving UPS a profitable finish to the year.

You?

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.

Was asked awhile ago what I'd like....didn't have an opinion as to what would be considered probable as to $ spent...🤷‍♂️

Managed to get her a stand mixer earlier on she had a lust for, followed by a 'training wheels' pasta attachment to see if the reality met the desire 'to do'...

Fortunately, it did....*s*  A 'surprise gift' of an interesting print (framed) and the framing of a print she'd bought a frame for that was too small and square for a rectangular image...

I got a nice dinner of leg of lamb with good accompaniments...

...but I'm difficult to buy for....

Let’s see. A few weeks ago bought my new Audio Research Ref 9 cdp. Then yesterday bought a Shunata Denali 6000 /s V2. What is for New Years ? 🤷‍♂️🤦‍♂️
