Xmas gift suggestions

This will take a different bent, but why don't you just ask him? Tell him what you'd like to do, what your budget is, and ask him exactly what he wants. "This year, for Christmas, I'd like to get you some high end audio equipment. I have a few hundred dollars, and would like to know what you'd like for your system."

If your budget won't pay for something he's interested in upgrading, he can apply your funds towards something more expensive.

Finally, a gift certificate for music is ALWAYS right on the mark.

What about new reissue Lps, can't go wrong with software.

Oppo 970 Not 971 as mentioned above.

Get him some K-Works Isofeet for under his turntable, preamp and amp. You'll be amazed with the effect that great isolation has on his system. Once you hear it you'll be asking for Isofeet for your birthday. Contact Igor K. at: gorkuz@yahoo.com Happy Holidays
