What was the best (most impactful) piece of new equipment to hit the market in 2023?

Thanks...

It is the only upgrade i need... But i cannot afford it now perhaps  this year...

My best wishes...

@mahgister Thanks and I hope you and your family have a great holiday season. I would love to hear your impressions of the software.

Thanks

This will be exactly my next  and last move ...

Elaborate  please a bit about your impression and what you did wait for ?

For me it wasn't a piece of equipment but rather software. I have been interested in the BACCH system for some time but I had no interest in inserting a MAC computer into my system. Their introduction of u-BACCH software for Windows corrected that. Running it through J. River l got exactly what I was looking for at a lower price to boot.

Thanks for the precision...

It will be useful for some here and me if i win lotery ...

I will stay anyway with the minimal BACCH filters for my headphone eventually... This will be enough for me ... I am too old now for a complex and costly system because i will never had the dedicated room i  once had  in my actual smaller house...😁

Merry christmas to you and to your family ...🎄

For the Trinnov Waveforming technology you need the Altitude 16 which is even more expensive than the Amethyst. And you need no less than 4 matching subwoofers. If I go for it I’m looking at the Perlisten D 15s. The total cost will be $42,000.00 not including custom stands for the subs.

It’s a lot of coin. It will depend on how much bass control the room rebuild will give me. We shall see…

Very low cost products emerge  which are now no more only junk and good for low cost system ...

i just bought 2 pre-amplifiers for peanuts one with tubes the other S.S. ... One at 50 dollars is better than a tube amplifier i bought 7 years ago and paid 400 bucks and the other  at the same price if not better rival it , and this past tube amp of mine is always sold  today as very good tube amp for 400 bucks ... ...

😁

It is a new trend in the market ...Better tech at a better price than ever ...

For the Trinnov amethyst and the BACCH filters i will wait till i win a lotery...but it will be my choices and i dont need costly upgrades to be acoustically happy but these 2 products offer something unique i could live with which is related to room acoustic... ....😁😊
