What's the most recent piece of audio equipment you have purchased and when?

Funniest thing I've read all day. I did play Hindemith's Sonata for Solo Cello on LP last night, and I know Al would love this recording. Alas, I think it is only available on vinyl.

That yggy of his is a piece of schiit

I purchased the Aqua Formula DAC a month or so back. With HQPlayer and even without, absolutely fantastic IMO.

Paul Hindemith Viola Sonata, Op. 11 No. 4 and Op. 11 No. 5 for solo viola are one of the few classical recordings that happily force me to listen to vinyl - , as well as many jazz LPs.

Thanks. I will look those up. What vinyl set up do you have to play along side your incredible Vivaldi stack?

The Forsell Air Force One Reference with the air bearing large flywheel and an ARC Phon REF5 SE. I played a little with a vintage idler wheel and SME 3012R but came back to the Forsell.

Second Swiss Digital Fuse Box.

Bought an open box Lyra Kleos 3 weeks ago. Wasn’t even broken in. After 40 hours sounds glorious.

 

[GSOphile]

Aurender N20 Network Transport with Conductor app - about a month ago, with Wireworld Platinum Starlight ethernet and USB cables. Very impressed with this my first streamer (Conductor app, Qobuz).

The last and final piece of equipment that I purchased was a McIntosh MB25 Bluetooth Transceiver. A week before I had purchased a McIntosh MCD12000 CD/SACD player. Purchased both pieces in August 2024.
I also purchased a new Lyra MC phono pickup that same month.

Lamm L1 preamp and most recently another NOS SME 3012R.

I just received my new Audio Mirror Tubadour VI DAC, will be plugging it into the system around 1:00 am tomorrow morning as soon as I get to our room. I can't wait to fire this baby up, I'll be going from a Pontus II to the AMT-VI, should be a nice step up!

Planning on purchasing an AudioQuest Tornado HC Power Cord (1.0m) for my amplifier to replace my existing Virtual Dynamics Nite II.

 

[crosswind]

Bent Audio AVC with slagleformer modules.

Shunyata Everest power conditioner with a Shunyata Sigma v2 power cord. To say that I am surprised at the audible difference in my system is an understatement. Increased depth of soundstage, better placement of the instruments in the soundstage, and although it is difficult to explain, a "blacker" background, which makes the instruments seem placed correctly. This should be looked at as a component, and not just a power conditioner.
