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 system is set in my new room, added 2 GIK absorbing panels. I'm set. My new room is somewhat larger than my old listening space and has a higher ceiling. One notable change is that my streaming previously was via an Ethernet connection; now it's via wifi, and I'll be damned- the wifi works flawlessly and might even sound better that the ethernet. 

I think for the rest of the year it's going to be looking for new music. 

To expand on the previous post I had 11 zones in my home with either two or 5.2 channel video/audio and hopefully sometime around june I will get to move back into my home and begin refurnishing it with a/v gear for those 11 locations. My expectations are fluid with some openness to modifying those areas with more suitable equipment and source material. Not necessarily more expensive, but just more suitable for the application. I am rethinking the whole house and hopefully going to end up with a more suitable setup for the way we live. Many things are being considered. Its gonna be a busy and involved experience.

I wasn't planning on new speakers but I bought a pair of Studio Electric M4 M9nitors for my second system.   They are so good it's silly.  Amazing speaker.
