2024 Audio System Wish List

 

I’ve been doing this for years now- and it’s time for our 2024 wish list!

In 2023 I explored the world of room treatment and purchased a modest amount of products from GIK and Acoustimac, and for an approximate $400 investment, I was extremely satisfied how it really helped my music listening experience- far more than any $400 cable ever has.

My goal for 2024, as it has been for a number of years now, is to explore and add more music. Streaming has been a fantastic way of exploring new to me music, and in some instances after streaming an album, I also wound up buying it on vinyl.

I will probably add some more room treatment, but not much more.

What’s your audio goal for 2024? A new preamp? A DAC? More music?

Enjoy 🥂

I’ve been going back and forth with GIK on room treatment and plan to get started in January or February.  I have a small listening room (~12x16) so I’m doing near field listening.  I really like the sound of my system as is, so I’m going to start slow with the 1st and 2nd reflection points and panels on the ceiling over the speakers.  Later, I may add corner bass traps and panels behind the speakers on the front wall.  

My next major purchase will be a new or used preamp.  I really like my BHK preamp, but it doesn’t have an RCA fixed output or record in/out connectors and I need that in order to record vinyl to my Teac X10-R R2R (like I once did back in the 80’s 😉).
