What were your favorite gear additions in 2024?

Two changes that brought level up improvements:

Octave Audio Jubilee Preamp. I listened to a lot pf preamps and the Octave was the best to my ears by a significant margin-better everything

Professional room treatments. I was a bit skeptical-thought my room wasn't bad-but this made a big difference.

Shunyata mains distributors - one Everest for the digital side and one Typhon T30 and Denali for the analogue side. It delivered major improvements in dynamics, spatial resolution and that elusive "it sounds real" quality.

Audio Note Speakers -   AN-J SE Hemp Silver model

ARC Ref 160 Power Amp

ARC Ref 6 SE Pre Amp

Big year for me upgrade wise

Nothing too sexy for me: Purchased the smallest REL sub made for my office system and replaced one of my old bluesound nodes with the latest node. The old one gave up the ghost. 

You can find the N130 Node for $350. A great deal IMO.
