What did YOU get for Christmas?

Now that the living room floor is covered with wrapping paper and the kids are camped in front of their newest video game, it's time to take a poll of 'goners and see what audio trinkets Santa brought everyone this year.

For me, it was a Kimber cable in my stocking to connect my iPod docking station to my Linn Classik, and a Tivoli Model 3 clock radio for the bedroom.

How about all the rest of you? Were you good girls and boys this year?

Our Christmas came about 4 weeks early. We picked up some Thiel CS2.4's and some tube gear that I am going to restore. I nice Dynaco PAS-2 and Stereo 70, both in good condition and a Conrad Johnson PV-7 that will be modded.

RXman,

This CD player received great review - Probably will beat Sharper Image.

I got a Yamaha sound processor to hook up my computer to an amp - It sounds good for those of you wanting to improve the computer experience. It's Yamaha Cavit - you can find them on buy.com, ebay, and other web sights.

There are many ways of getting a better sound out of computer now, but this one has effects as well - Europian concert hall, church, Jazz club, etc. It's not the highest standard like a Lynx soundcard, but improves the stock soundcard for sure - will do for midfi.

Looks smart by a computer. Buy.com has good prices on them now.

Nothing that will sound too interesting here...

I biased my Jadis Orchestra Reference, mastering with ease probably the hardest of all tube amps today to bias. It's kind of funny how those dealers want to put the fear of God into you when it comes to this stuff. Two meters, and piece of cake. Especially, compared to reassembling it. Wouldn't have even been a big deal to do it with one meter.

The end result is that I have never heard finer sound emanate from the amplifier, and the fantastic sound was not lost on the Christmas Eve/Christmas guests, not one of which is an Audiophile.

While I was at it, I biased the AtmaSpheres as well, but they're a walk in the park. Have to say the sound improved with them as well.

And, for the entertainment, I bought myself The Vince Guaraldi "Charlie Brown Christmas" CD. Had to hop around to two stores, neither of which could get over why this CD is so popular this year.

Happy Holidays to all!
