I think I am a bit late but I am still buying stuff... for Christmas... 
I have not made the decision if these are presents to myself for 2023 or 2024 Christmas!
I could not refuse buying a used Rotel RT-1084 AM/FM/HD/RDS/SXM Tuner for $150.
I don't know if I'll get much use out of it but I am sure it will add a touch of old-skool (circa 2007) to my Rotel pre/Proc.

I love teaching. Otherwise I'd not have lasted 20 years in the trade.
More fishing gear less audio gear. I find fishing very relaxing especially with good tunes.

Dear Santa,
I will not be needing anymore audio gear for Christmas 2024.
Here it is the end of August 2024, and I am already flush with 2 new ES9039Q2M DACs, a new ADC, a new TPA3255 power amp and some other new audio goodies.
Enough already!

I made zero audio purchases in 2023 and plan to make zero in 2024. I'm all set.

Not sure I can spend so much hi-fi the next 3 years , this month I gave my daughter 100 000 USD as help to buy a new house.. I have to pay the bank…
I will regret not buying the JVC QL-5F I saw last month.

I have been spending more time in my home office. I saw some 8030c used for $1k, so I jumped on them to replace an Amazon Echo Show. I will post pics in the appropriate thread when I get back from vacation.
I guess for Christmas I will look at the 7040a sub and some sort of EQ balanced DAC (RME Babyface, MiniDSP Flex, or Topping D50 III). I could use more bass but can see the room response gremlins lurking at 50 hz and 24 hz.

That's a shame!
Couldn't you just skim $1K off the top (for the TT) and tell your daughter 1% was the bank fee for early withdrawal?
I just moved to Sacramento, and we are renting for a while, I order to acquaint ourselves with the area before we buy, but I am thinking about a sound system for the house we buy, with good sound and a high spousal approval factor. The Wiim Amp Pro, that is coming out this fall, seems like a great choice for a high spousal approval factor. I don’t do vinyl or CDs, just stream.

What a nice thing to do for your daughter. Does paying back the bank mean you took a loan, borrowed from retirement accounts, or just need to replenish savings?

Found your new house.
Jokes aside, probably a good time to wait to see where the real estate market settles.
