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

[audioguy]

And when and what do you think the next piece will be?

In my case, the most recent piece(s) were two APS Purepower Power Re-generators. One I got about 2 or 3 weeks ago and the other is "in the mail" (or not!).

Next (this coming Friday) I am re-acquiring my Dunlavy VI's that I had sold to a friend who is upgrading to Magico Q5's. And some used Bryston amps to drive them.

After that (once I figure out what brand/function) MAY be a preamp.

After that, NOTHING but more music (and movies!)

OK. Maybe I should have left off the word "NOTHING". Busted

I bought an optical cable last year. Next up? Sub.

I am auditioning 2 used Evolution Acoustics PC2one Power Cords (in excellent condition) with the connectors replaced with Oyaide 079 ends that I am almost positive that I am going to keep. I am also auditioning an Oyaide Tunami GPX Power Cable; this power cord comes with the Oyaide 046 Gold/Palladium ends. In an effort to pay for some of this I expect that I will be selling 2 or 3 Analysis Plus Oval 2 Power Cords with the Oyaide 079 ends.

As an update since my posting, I used a store credit that I had to purchase a HIFi-Tuning's Disc Demagnetizer. It should ship tomorrow and I should have it on Friday.

I bought my RtR deck - a modified Technics 1520 by Tim de Paravicini a couple of months back, I am not looking to buy anything in the near future except MUSIC in all formats..... well...maybe a new DAC could help...

It is alway the "maybes" that cost so much !!

TW Acustic tonearm. I'm still waiting for the armboard tower. Thomas accidentally sent the wrong one.

I bought in the past month or two, 2 McIntosh MC601's, McIntosh MC303, and Wadia 171i ipod dock, and Analysis Plus digital cable. In the future maybe a McIntosh preamp for 2 channel music. That will be a very long time away. No space for it now.

A Krell S-1200 preamp/processor and a Mach2 Music Mac Mini computer server with a Calyx Audio DAC24/192. Now broke, so nothing else planned for at least a week.......

My most recent purchase was a set of Nordost Frey interconnects and speaker cables, and prior to that, a pair of MartinLogan Spires.

Next on my shopping list is some acoustic room treatments, and a new cartridge, phono stage, and line stage are also very high on the list.

Velodyne DD 12 to complement a JL f112 and fill an annoying null à la Geddes. Also picked up a Berkeley Alpha a couple of days ago. Combined for a fair bit of improvement, top to bottom.

I wonder if I can find any retired NSA guys I can hire to hack your hard drives. It would probably cost less than buying the contents!

Nice!!!

How long is it going to take you to get through the stuff?

 

[Ron Party]

Caesar, that's a good question. I've listened to Amos Lee, Within Temptation, Anathema and Kaipa, but only once. I try to listen to an album 5 times so as to really get to know the music before arriving at any conclusions.

In the 2 days since that post, however, I've acquired the following:

Deep Purple, Machine Head
The Doors, Morrison Hotel & Strange Days (Steve Hoffman Remasters)
Freddie King, The Texas Cannonball
Joe Satriani, Is There Love In Space?

It's like an addiction ... I acquire faster than I can listen. I'm about 200 behind right now.
