What were your favorite gear additions in 2024?

I finally retired my 27 year-old bridged Rotel RB-980BX amps and 15 year-old Rotel RC 1580 pre-amp with PS Audio BHK 300 amps and BHK Signature pre-amp (they really make the La Scalas sing).  The Rotels served me well for almost 3 decades so the BHKs should last longer than I will.

Now for a streamer...it's always something.

Hello and Happy New Year,

I returned to the warmth of tubes with the addition of a Prima Luna EVO 400 integrated amp for my music system rig.  I added a HSU VTF-TN1 sub primarily for the movie surround to add more low end as an adjunct to my smaller/older HSU VTF-MK 2.  For more details on the subs you might check out

I'm fortunate to reside about 30 minutes from Dr. Hsu's facility.  He's a brilliant engineer (MIT PHD) designing, building subs for over 40 years and loves to talk subwoofer.  Oh and he answers the phone (or his main assistant, Kevin.  Enjoy the music!
