Awesome! Proof you really are a lucky guy. Enjoy
Lifting the Christmas veil
I had become disenchanted with my system (Primaluna CD player, Lumin D2 used as a streamer, ADI RME-2FS DAC, Linn LP12 with Linn cartridge all as front ends playing through Primaluna Dialogue HP Premium integrated into Joseph Audio 1st gen Perspectives). I just wasn’t getting the detailed “being there” sound i had hoped for and expected from the JA’s.
I found myself spending less and less time listening to music (an integral part of what brings me joy). I should mention that I’m mostly listening to Tidal via Roon and Roon Nucleus theses days. CD’s sounded much better than streamed music, so i suspected my DAC and/or streamer were the weak link.
Well, my beautiful (both inside and out) wife of 43+ years (who has supported my audiophile affliction) gave me a HiFi Rose RS-150B for Christmas and……a wonderful Christmas miracle has occurred! The music detail veil has been lifted and the beautiful sound I’ve been craving has arrived!
I’m back to being that kid in the candy store getting a taste all of the wonderful offerings our hobby has to offer.
I hope everyone finds a little bit of Christmas magic in their lives today!

I love this post. I joked when my wife handed me a gift that it must be a new amplifier. She and my daughter laughed and said, that is the last thing we would get you since we wouldn’t have a clue what to get. I consider myself fortunate. She’s really cool about letting me do my thing. I hope you enjoy your system for years to come! |
This is a great post a companion is our best investment.a new equipment changes the frequency and the brain loves a new pattern I think that's why people love tube amplifier and speaker rolling and it's a mental challenge as well reading and studying about it all.keep healthy enjoy the music .this is a doctors prescription thx all and happy new year |
Let me put it this way, it was love at first site ( at least for me when my future wife moved to my town our sophomore year in high school). It took her a year to see the light and we started dating in 1974. We’ve been madly in love since. so my advice is to believe in love at first site and follow your heart. |
@tweak1 Sorry to hear that. Maybe i was just lucky, but i feel like fate played a hand. |
mahgister, " mahgisterMust we be envious of the gear or of the wife ? I know we must not be envious ... But .... I could not imagine a better gift from a better person ... I am not envious just thinking ... 😊 Happy christmas night .... Thus Spake maghister?
