What'd You Get For Xmas?


Jewish, so I got my Hanukah gift weeks ago: A NOS quad of 1960s Raytheon 5842/417A windmill getter tubes for my phono preamp! Heaven! Unbelievable improvement in the sound stage from the WE 417A I had in there. Tube upgrades always make me happy!

A pair of slippers that won't stay on my feet. A pair of boots that are guaranteed to keep my feet warm while ice fishing. They look ridiculously large but it's miserable when your feet get cold. 

I was able to sell some gear that I had listed on FB a couple days ago; the proceeds from which I plan on buying a good used DAC. 

I cooked a dinner of roast duck and roasted brussels sprouts finished with balsamic vinegar honey glaze, fresh beets and steamed beet greens for my wife and my mother who lives with us. Quiet day. 

Merry Christmas.

Junior Wells Hoodo Man Blues and a Hudson HiFi record cleaning kit which is excellent especially considering it’s price.

$2,200 to look after my cat Poopy's abscess tooth.

Not exciting for me, but I am pretty sure he will appreciate it.

Merry Christmas everyone.

We & the neighbors regularly launch into an orgy of chocolate and cookie sharing.

SRV Wisconsin Live Lp from my daughter. Modwright PH9.0x from myself 😉

Lamm LP2, bought used from a friend of a friend getting divorced. He didn't mind taking a loss so long as "she doesn't get it". 

EAT E-Glo Petit

Audio Note tonearm wire and cartridge clips.  This is the thinnest wire that I have ever seen in my life.  I'm sure it'll be a nightmare to solder.

OP, what phono pre do you have?

 

Sitting here listening to Merry Axemas Vol 1.   Merry Christmas to all who love a good guitar solo.  😄

Kids bought me a load of R&B, Rock, Jazz and Clissical Albums.

I am an Analog, Vinyl Bot.

Wife bought me a new rack (not that kind) for my audio gear. Fern and Roby knock off from Ikea and I love it. Steal, Wood and added my wood bases. SOLID man.

Magnaflo exhaust cat back (still in transit)

ARB new differential locker (still in transit)

Upgraded roof-rack to replace stock

nerf barz

Let it run forever race off-road at any time!

I did not get my Festivus pole up in time, so no presents but I am airing my grievances.

Wow, guessing you had to drop a PRETTY SPECIFIC hint for that gift. 

Peeking under the tree, I see a wrapped LP with my name on the tag...oh the drama...

Cheers,

Spencer
