2025 Audio System Wish List Time!


I’ve been doing this for years now- and it’s time for our 2025 wish list!

In 2024, I added a new power supply for my turntable- a Radikal power supply for my turntable. 

My goal for 2025, as it has been for a number of years now, is to explore and add more music. Streaming has been a fantastic way of exploring new to me music, and in some instances after streaming an album, I also wound up buying it on vinyl.

What’s your audio goal for 2025? A new preamp? A DAC? More music? 

Enjoy 🥂

My wish came true.  Assembled my new Salamander rack, moved all of my gear, and everything works. 🙂

CryoTone 300b's. I have replaced all 5u4g tubes and the 6SN7's in my monoblocks with CryoTones with great results. So much quieter. 

Funds to: complete my dedicated listening room, buy a new high end streamer, a new DAC (Denafrips Terminator 15th?), and another set of speakers (Volti Lucera or Rivals, Joseph Audio Perspective Graphenes, or Linkwitz LK521 Reference....as of today)

I'm hoping to find someone who can help me finish

setting up my Magnepan arm and Ortofon 2m black

in a nice old VPI custom base/plinth.

- Buy a $2k Schitt Wotan amp to replace a $6k amp

- MAYBE buy the next iteration of the Schitt Tyr mono blocks ($??) to replace a killer $16k amp (may regret this one)

- If those 2 amps sells happen then I can afford an excellent new Open Baffle speaker from Requisite Audio
