What gear are you currently eyeing / lusting after?
« on: June 10, 2008, 09:31:31 AM »
I'm sure everyone on this forum is constantly browsing and researching and planning the next upgrade, building the wish list. What's caught your eye lately?

Here's what's on my list....

Cambridge Audio 640p phono preamp
Dynavector 10X5 Cartridge
Hornshoppe Cube
Better interconnects (I have whatever came in the box or was laying around)

Just heard about the Glow amp, sounds interesting.... http://www.glow-audio.com/glowstuff.html

Would love to try the Transcendant Sound stuff, if I could afford it....someday....

I'm not looking at any specific brands or models, but I'd really like to upgrade to floorstanding speakers and I gotta admit, I'm really curious to try electrostatic speakers. 

However, I definitely want to upgrade from my 11 year old receiver to something newer from audiogon as well as upgrading my source to an oppo player.

Squeezebox Duet + New Desktop.  My old one is slowly dying and will be used to feed the Squeezebox.

That glow amp looks pretty cool! If it had multiple inputs (RCA), I may have tried that instead of my Jolida 102B. The single input was the deal breaker for the Sophia Electric Baby too.

I'd love a Rega P1 turntable and Cambridge Audio 640p phono preamp. But, we're saving for an international adoption, and I can't see myself having records around with small children. That's how many of my dad's records were broken!

Heard these at AKfest and understand why you are after them.  The local dealer is about 1/2 mile from my house.  They sound great!

I have 6 kids and have owned and played records since we brought the first one home from the hospital (well, before that, even!). Don't let that stop you. You deserve the sounds, and your kid deserves a cool dad who spins vinyl!

+T for the adoption.  (Which no doubt makes it all worthwhile.)  :-)

Def get records, one of my fondest memories from growing up was raiding dad's record collection and him teaching me about people like Eric Clapton, Jerry Garcia, and Jimi Hendrix.



I'm lusting after a really nice phono preamp, and an HDTV to replace my 13" tube tv.

I've wanted to upgrade my old Legacy Audio Signature III's to Legacy Focus for years. Alas, I finally bit the bullet and bought a new pair of Focus HD. :drool:

Life is good...for now. I suppose I'm interested in a high-end 24/96 DVD-A player next. I currently run a Denon 2200 (not so often) or a Denon 2900. I'd love to hear recommendations for suggested upgrades. Any advice?

I am going to buy some Ultimate Ears triple fi 10 pro. And perhaps a small portable headphone amp.
