What were your favorite gear additions in 2024?

Canton Reference 7K speakers. Took probably 250 hours + but have just blossomed into what may be the best pair of speakers I’ve ever owned.  

It was a great year…found my end game ….

Pass Labs XP-12 preamp

First Watt Sit-4 amp..(the best amp)

Denafrips Venus 12th anniversary dac

Magna Hifi Mano ultra mkIII with separate farad power supply streamer from the Netherlands..a raspberry pi design with Ropieee xl software…really sweet

Volti Audio Razz speakers…

‘this all matches up beautifully..

Revel F208

The audio store I purchase from made me a great deal on a demo pair of KLH Model 5's in English Walnut finish.  I have them connected to an Audio Research SP17 preamp and McIntosh MC-225 amp in my Den system.  They sound fantastic. 

Merry Christmas and Happy New Years!

This year I upgraded the Linn LP12 I got in 2023 with the new Arko tonearm. This new Linn tonearm is  quite impressive in terms of detail, openness and bass. This gave me the opportunity to hear the limitations of my Hana SL. So just before Christmas, I treated myself with a Pure Fidelity Stratos. It is a gem at this price point. The whole combination is excellent and I am rediscovering every single LP in my collection.

Happy new year!
