When and what was your last significant equipment upgrade?


I will start- December 2015, a DAC (Bricasti M1)

As I've said in the past, I truly believe I am done in terms of buying gear, but more recently I finally merged my laptop with my DAC to explore hi-rez audio, which I am enjoying a great deal

May 2016 replaced my Sonos Connect with an Auralic Aries Mini and no more streaming dropouts!
@winoguy17 UPS is making preamps now? :p  Come on tell us what you’re getting dude!
Just ordered new speakers for the first time in 10 years! A pair of Audio Note AN/Jlx's in Olive wood veneer! Got them through Deja Vu Audio they should be here in another 7-10 weeks!
@hifiman5 well it was 8-12 so the clock is ticking down and they come all the way from the UK so it does take time. I have speakers in the meantime so I am getting by!
@salectric very cool! I listed to a pair of newly completed open baffle custom speakers at Deja Vu about a month ago might they have been yours? If so amazing speakers and if not well any speakers Vu builds are amazing! Enjoy!
salectric I actually looked at your system page after I posted that and they are indeed different yours are a much lighter shade of wood, cherry perhaps. The speakers I saw were dark brown maybe even black and with different grills. I am sure your speakers sound amazing I've yet to hear one of Vu's creations that doesn't. Sadly my room is far to small for horn speakers but looking forward to my AN/Jlx's arriving very much! Cheers and happy listening!
Ah maple nice I took another look and I see what you mean about Martin Logans. They look great much more elegant fit and finish than the pair I listened to. And heard that same system at Cap Audiofest loved it and also at Deja Vu of course. Running an amp and preamp from Deja Vu that were built by their previous designer Pavel. Great sounding gear and bullet proof.
