A new DAC for me -- but it would probably be a combination birthday/Chanukah/Christmas present. But who cares? A new DAC! It would be great!

In no particular order

RFC "The UItimate" XO's
Something from the Croft "R" line-up I've not decided if I'm going to get the phonostage, preamp or monoblocks.
A new DIY SUT based around Hashimoto HM7's for the valve system.
Maybe a external PSU for the 301

I don't think I want anything else.... :eek:

I was thinking along the lines of a hand knitted jumper with music notes on the front (always wanted one...)

...... failing that, a fancy Furutech USB lead or two if Santa has some in stock

I keep leaving the iPad open on the Nakamichi TX-1000 that Dandy is selling in the classifieds, but Mrs. B is not taking the hint. :(

I'm afraid this might the closest you get to having your Christmas wish come true:

Why not go halves with a friend like I did and part own one?

Maybe a pair of RHA S500 in ears for the iPad. Will compare them to the Stax 009's so see if I can hear a difference.
Other than that, bugger all.

Early Xmas for me too, on the recording front:

Pair of DPA 2011C mics and a Sound Devices USBPre-2 Interface on the way!

I'm looking at a second iFi Audio iPurifier2 so that I don't have to keep moving the one I have between the two DACs as I can't listen without it now.
