OK, what are you guys buying yourselves for Christmas?

[restorer-john]

I wouldn't crawl around in any area likely to contain critters in Australia.

In a geographical twist, I am buying myself a vacation in New Zealand. Scuba and wine. Never been.

New Zealand is beautiful. You’ll absolutely love it.

Every turn in the road is another 'the most beautiful view I've ever seen' moment.

 

[CarbonMakerU]

Going to pass and continue to save my pennies. I would like a set of Dan Clark Stealth's, sans divorce fillings.

 

[VMAT4]

Maybe, I'll buy a WiiM Amp.

I usually don't buy Christmas gifts for myself since it is the season of giving to others.

So, I asked the wife, pictured:

what she wanted for Christmas and she told me she has everything she needs.

So, this year I've decided that I will get the girlfriend, pictured:

more of her favorite toy as seen in the pic above.

If I was in a REEEAL giving mood, I would get you a new g/f, not pictured:
One who does not have an ugly and/or disfigured left elbow.

 

[hatverloren]

A pair of Drop x Sennheiser HD6XX, Classic!

That's not the part I focus on . . .

I'm jelly.

 

[GD Fan]

Maybe the Boss IR-2 amp emulator.

 

[Ifrit]

Didn’t really want anything, but the opportunity was too good, so a pair of speakers. Now they have to live in storage for some time…

 

[norman bates]

Hard to say.......
If my speaker sells, put it towards a revel f208.

Otherwise, maybe a 70s Kenwood tuner and a restore kit for it.
Maybe a restore kit for my marantz 1060 integrated amp from the 70's also.

Or a rotel a11 mkii.....

Maybe a geshelli dac.....

Or some pretty 70s marantz low power receiver that shows up at a local record store.

 

[Leporello]

Bolle y7 ski goggles.

 

[Deleted member 48726]

Socks.

 

[SCR]

A used pair of Bose 901 VI, the review made me do it (BLUSH!)

 

[norman bates]

Lo!

 

[Bleib]

Guru q10 loudspeakers
Possibly Denon AVR
Gym membership
Already gotten broadband 500mbit

Dang, that's a lot Dennis. Congratulations on your retirement!

 

[KellenVancouver]

Pretty much done on the audio front. Just enjoy it, which is perhaps gift enough moving forward.
Will admit, however, that I bought both Fujifilm XF 150-600mm F5.6-8 R LM OIS WR and Fujifilm XF 8mm F3.5 R WR lenses to feed my other passion.

And after all that work to restore it, what are you going to listen to on an FM tuner that is not a commercial, not news, not talk-show?
I only ask, since I could not find an answer to the above dilemma, and I ended up throwing out my Luxman T2 when it died. It broke my heart but had to be done.
