Rectifier tubes for my Allnic h8000 and a pair of 16ft Jena Labs Valkurie.

Stax 9000 to complete my system, already on order awaiting receipt at the dealers
 
io had Stax 009,really fantastic,but sole because never used,having my own room with 2 system,never used stax
 
I'm in the process of trying to determine my next purchase. My options are change music servers, DAC, or simple do nothing. I currently use an Antipodes S30/S40/S60 combination...I'm considering the Antipodes K50. My current DAC is a Chord Dave...my concern with changing DACs is simply cost. I don't want to spend $20K plus on a DAC.

Next purchase would be, in theory, to address the information bottleneck represented by the cable between pre-amp and amp. I ran out of dollars back when all that system building transpired and then recently made the mistake of trying something upscale when a friend said “Here. Tell me what you think of this?”. Shouldn’t have done that - retirement income can accommodate the odd record purchase or three, but several hundred dollar cable upgrades are best left to pipe dream status. Woe is me ;-)
 
In this moment I do not want to buy anything, just want to sell the excess. ;) However, if the thread tittle was "What would you will you like to borrow to listen next" I could list a few items ...
 
Just purchased a PTP solid 9 from Peter with a Scroder CB9 arm, speed controller and all the upgrades available. First major turntable for me (within my budget).

Thank you Marty. I’m looking for a light with an incandescent bulb and I can’t have a large base Because of lack of space on my rack’s top shelf. I will probably have a clamp or wall mount.
 
Purchased a spare pair of 15" JBL 2216Nd drivers. Might update my Array 1400's or use them under my SAMHF heads. Sounds like 1/4 rounds and MDF for me.

Rob :)
 
On Friday I received my ISO Acoustics Gaia I with their matching carpet spikes for my Diva's. Ordered from local brick and mortar store.

I just purchased a small LED lamp for my CD Rack. We will see how it works out. Other than that I will keeping Acoustic Sounds in business this year by purchasing more albums ….
 
Durand Tosca Tonearm and Ortofon Verismo cartridge :)
 
Both of these are continued extreme finetuning around the new fundamentals which have fallen into place in the last 2-3 years -- speakers, amplification, isolation and cabling...and a slight detour for headphone system which has now pretty much concluded:

-Upgrading grounding as, by all accounts, Tripoint & Entreq have come a far, far way in the last 10 years.

-Upgrading to extreme bass for that effortless sense of venue, hall space and overall foundation: Funk Audio 18.2 (dual-opposing 18" with 4000 watt amp), possibly a pair.
