1. Listen to Analysis Audiio Omegas with both Dartzeel and BAT to understand what works better
2. Trying to get a demo of NAT Audio's top of the line pre and power this Sunday
3. Another Datasat Auro 3d system, will happen in March, probably
4. Goldmund Mimesis 16HD and Telos to see how their analog room correction (leonardo and Prometheus) works
5. There are some high end MCH set ups I am itching to listen to, especially one with Martin Logan Neolith, but will have to travel to Vegas for that
