Christmas '12 Audio Upgrades?


Anyone been surprised (or not) with a Christmas gift in the form of audio-related things (e.g., components, accessories, media, and the like? Please, do share.

My brother sent me a CD; that's about it. The prospect of a surprise new audio component is scary for me, as I'm imagine it is for the rest of you—my wife wouldn't know what to get :)

Hope you all had a great Christmas :)

Cheers,

Aaron

Forgot to mention my wife along with the money did buy me a "Theatre Room" plague. A nice little addition to my small slice of peace on earth.
No surprise equipment. Audiophiles are a picky bunch after all, most cohabitants know not to "surprise" them with unexpected equipment.

I did get a gift cert to HDtracks.com which was a nice surprise. I've been getting more in 24/96 recordings lately, as you can definitely hear the improvement over 16/44 CD quality on a decent system. I had wanted to get into 24/96 stuff years ago, but that whole DVD-Audio crippled hardware disappointment was a huge turn-off.
