OK, what are you guys buying yourselves for Christmas?

[Multicore]

I might not buy myself anything this year, I don't think I need anything!

Xmas gifts aren't about need.

 

[Barrelhouse Solly]

Yikes. Gotta watch those sharp downhill curves especially when overloaded and out of balance.

How are you feeling now?

Electric Larryland. I remember it from when our daughter was in high school. I bought it. Loved "Pepper."

 

[Mr. Widget]

How are you feeling now?

Almost 100%... the recent atmospheric river has mostly kept me off my bikes, but I'll be bombing down the hills again soon.

I know, but I don't think I want anything either, what's wrong with me!

Santa don’t bring no audio equipment no more. I get for my birthday, which is in a couple of days. Just got a Fiio K11 and a Wiim Pro to drive my Sennheiser 57x. With PEQ, the lean bass gets sorted and since I use Apple Music I am cord and dongle free streaming to the Wiim. Thought seriously about the SMSL Raw and Pro Plus but decided this was enough. Thankful for Thanksgiving.

OK, I have an addiction to Watches and EDC Pocket Knives. I have many ‘Wish Lists” but I just mostly look and pick stuff I like and add to a growing list. Won’t buy any of it normally. Don’t go out enough and wear a watch to justify. Have about 40 just sitting in a safe. But I did buy a new pocket knife and I love how little it weighs.

Anyone else have this obsession with tool grade watches? I doubt I’m alone.

First knife is $14 USD. It’s a nice made knife and would be a great stocking stuffer.

Not buying any audio gear. Perfectly happy with my setup after upgrading to the Wiim Ultra a couple of months ago.

Bought 4TB during black friday, but besides that, holding off any purchases for my belated christmas present to myself, RTX5090 in Jan/Feb

I have way too many watches (approx. 50) and decided not to purchase anymore. I've only bought one in the past 5 years, a cheap Invicta Tag Huer Monte Carlo clone. I'm doing my best to resist buying the watch below. I have quite a few pocket knives too.

Me, when I think of the silly things I've spent my money on:

 

[Bleib]

So far only Supra XLR 2 meter analogue cables

 

[Bob from Florida]

Thinking about getting a Henry lever action octagon barrel .22 rifle. Always wanted a lever action for plinking.

 

[Timcognito]

Have my eye on an Onkyo TX-RZ30 AVR but will not buy until someone reviews it and publishes test data.

 

[Anton S]

Mo' MUSIC!!! The hardware performance has been just right for some time, but a man cannot have too many albums. So many great releases to explore ...

 

[Multicore]

I know, but I don't think I want anything either, what's wrong with me!

Well, if you don't even want a cake or a bottle or a book or something for yourself then I guess think about what you can gift to others. Admittedly that's not the topic of this thread but I don't think anyone will mind if you mention your ideas.

 

[LTig]

Looking for a cheap 2nd hand Tascam Model 16 mixer with multitrack recording. Looked also for a Allan & Heath QU16 but it is a little too big and heavy for my current use case.

 

[Peterinvan]

Schiit Loki+.

I will use it between my FiiO K11R2R and K7.

My old ears are slowing deteriorating, so this will be my compensation strategy.

I got a Promaster Skyhawk A-T earlier this year. I still get a chuckle out of how absurd it is. And I'm genuinely impressed that something so small with no visible antenna can pick up the 5km wavelength time code from WWVB in Fort Collins.
