This year I want to complete/update the HT system. Having had the beasty Yamaha
RXV1 running strong for what almost 20 years, it needed an update. Having a new
8K TV pushed matters since the only way to hook it up is through HDMI (e)ARC.
So that pretty much bumps all the components. I'm looking forward the end result.

Hmmm, well my plans are to build an all Moon system. Just bought an Oracle Delphi TT. Next a 600 or 300lp, a 700 or 600i and a pair of B&W 803 D3s. That's my goal!

I’m really trying to be good this year, although I’ve already bought a crapton of vinyl and SACDs….that’s probably not gonna stop.

I have already contacted my dealer regarding updating my Vivaldi DAC to APEX version.

I recently A/B'd the Shunyata Omega XC power cord that is plugged into my Everest with my own Sigma. At first I didn't think there was much difference until I removed and reinserted my Sigma. Darn, I may have to upgrade that power cord.

Lastly I am "considering" updating my Momentum M-400 to the latest MxV version.

Dartzeel 468 monos and NHB 18NS pre, along with the lampi horizon (both of which are woefully delayed due to supply chain issues)

A Clapton of vinyl Buck - is that your unit of measure for records? How many in a Clapton?

Ha! You know you’re an audiophile when auto correct changes slang to a musical artist………”crapton”. Anyway, dang, forgot about the APEX upgrade to the Rossini DAC, may have to revisit my comments about being good. I may wait for a bit of feedback before upgrading though.

Now that my INT-25 has been pushed out to the end of May by supply chain issues I may be able to squeeze in a pair of Magnepan .7i speakers. Will see come June.

Oh, man, a full DarTZeel amplification system and a Lampi Horizon?

Color me envious!

Congrats! That is gonna be one helluva a system.
