What will bring you Santa Claus for your system?

I made a list and handed it to him.

He said in the next 18 months or so.

-New turntable/arm (AMG V12)
-New digital processor. (TBD)
-New isolation platforms
 
Santa has been dropping by frequently this year.

Totaldac Live Power supplies x 2
Grand Prix Monaco 4 shelf
TA Reference XL AES/EBU

This year I ordered a 14 inch Kuzma 4poin tonearm!
Bought with Mr. Eduardo in this store

http://www.avantgardeaudio.com.br/

As part of the payment I gave my tonearm Kuzma 4point, the delivery was scheduled for December this year, but unfortunately found that it is more than six months that this shopkeeper has not spoken to the manufacturer!
Unfortunately I will not have my Christmas toy, I believe I will have to go to the police station to retrieve my old tonearm, it will not be a good Christmas for the Brazilian audiophiles who bought this store!
 
A Brand New System:

Pass X260.8s amps
Pass XP22 Preamp
Luxman D-08u SACD
Aurender N100H Streamer
Magico A3’s
Magico A3 Grills
Shunyata Hydra Alpha A12 Power Conditioner
Shunyata Cables
Bamboo SVT Quadrasphire Racks (x3) and Amp Stands (x2)

Should be installed Friday. Already considering adding at least a turntable system as well or maybe ...
 
Santa might not be able to make it because his reindeers are overworked, long hours, and have reduced healthcare and pension

Santa came earlier this month and left a NOS EMT 997 tonearm for the EMT 927 that is waiting to go back to the homeland for a few days at the spa with the Dusch family.
A lot of vinyl too.
 
Mid January
Game on! As a redbook only guy (for some time to come), I look forward to reading about your new digital. For me, i am keeping my head down and focusing on speakers. I have my eye on a pair, but the timing is not right. Stay tuned.
 
santa gave me a kronos pro with black beauty tonearm with zyx universe optimum and matching kronos stand with nordost tonearm cable
