This year with both of us working at home full time, I got a beyerdynamic A20 and DT770 headphones. So she can watch her TV in the family room while I bliss out in the living room.
I swapped out my speaker cables and most of my old interconnects from Monster for Marrow SP4 and MA4. (Only the long interconnects from pre to amp remain. Saving $$$ to replace those eventually)
When I installed the new cables I took everything out of the cabinet the system lives in and added isolation feet under all the components and rerouted all the cables to get the AC away from the interconnects.
Updated my cartridge from a Denon DL103R to a Hana EL. Now THAT'S what I'm talkin' about!
When I installed the new cartridge I retuned my Linn LP12 Valhalla and M&K/Rabco tonearm. That thing is a bear to get just right but when you do it's delightful. (Reminds me: I need a new battery)
And as always, I spent the entire year that I have a wife who loves the music (if not all the gear) as much as I do!
Cheers...
