2024 Audio System Wish List


 

I’ve been doing this for years now- and it’s time for our 2024 wish list!

In 2023 I explored the world of room treatment and purchased a modest amount of products from GIK and Acoustimac, and for an approximate $400 investment, I was extremely satisfied how it really helped my music listening experience- far more than any $400 cable ever has.

My goal for 2024, as it has been for a number of years now, is to explore and add more music. Streaming has been a fantastic way of exploring new to me music, and in some instances after streaming an album, I also wound up buying it on vinyl.

I will probably add some more room treatment, but not much more.

What’s your audio goal for 2024? A new preamp? A DAC? More music?

Enjoy 🥂

Funny you mention GIK Acoustics....    I have been looking at their site and think that would be a good investment at this point.

I've had double low Sistrum racks from Live Vibe for about 5 years and Sistrums under some speakers.  Love the look and especially the sound.  I have RTS couplers clamping each component to it's platform--great sound upgrade and it eliminates the possibility of tipping or knocking a component clean off the points. They even look like they belong on a Sistrum.  Your can even put them in the middle between the speakers as long as they are a little behind the backs of them with NO sound penalties.  Got a great deal on some used Sistrums and RT couplers--thanks Al J.  You'll love what the Live Vibe stuff does for the sound!

New power conditioner, potentially trying some different cables over my Kimber, and maybe move to a more serious TT from my current Uturn.

also buying a vacation home, so need a whole new system there! 

I'll be VERY happy if my phono preamp gets repaired and works as it used to--if it gets some upgrade to make it sound even better, that would be frosting on the cake.  My system, room, room treatments, along with being pretty thoroughly tweaked out is sounding very good.  I just need to sell the stuff I'm not using and there's quite a bit of it.  I'll definitely be adding more music now that my room have at least doubled the storage space for records, CDs and cassettes.
