What will bring you Santa Claus for your system?

Only a few CDs.

I'm done for a good while with upgrading. I love my sound. Each day I still can't believe how lucky I am.
 
He’s stopping by early at my place to drop off a pair of Pass X260.8 monoblocks!

Santa will be late for me. He'll be coming closer to the end of next year's first quarter.

L10 S , M10 Monos :D
 
Santa will be generous this year:
- A new SAT LM-09 tonearm for the turntable
- A Torus TOT AVR power conditioner for the main tape deck
- A secondary analogue system built around a fully upgraded Thorens TD 124 II and a Nagra IVs/QGB tape deck. Loudspeakers are Cube Audio Bliss C. Santa still needs to select the integrated amp and the phono stage. A comparative listening session has been scheduled next week.

So hopefully all will arrive under the tree right before Christmas except the rack for the secondary system that will arrive in early January (ordered from Italy) as well as few ancillaries that Santa still needs to order (power supply for the Thorens turntable and a custom made unbalanced to balanced line level converter for the Nagra tape deck).

And the 4 MOFI Dire Straits vinyl but Santa won’t be happy as I did not wait until Christmas to start listening to them.

New 65" OLED
Sam's Club has Samsung 65" OLED for$1k. I opted for the 65"VIZIO 4k with the 5.1 Surround.
The Samsung is really nice. It is natural and does not "scream" at you like some others.
My choice seemed like a better fit.
 
I have two pairs of these 15 inch bass woofers. My set up is such that the rest of the speakers have disappeared.

I will decide whether I want to keep these or swap after the Norway tour

Still waiting for the return of my upgraded Io Eclipse it’s only been 4 month ! I think the fat bastard got lost somewhere in the US after dropping all that gear of at Mikes barn, or maybe he’s laid up with a hernia :rolleyes:

Good. Sound is not a relevant factor in TV choice but the picture was best for me.

I recall vision was not important to you when listening from a previous discussion
IIRC you found it distractiong.
As far as my pursuit of OLED is concerned Santa will return next year.
Enjoy
