What are your audio plans for 2019??
So to piggyback off Ed’s 2018 year in review thread, what has your eye that may be a 2019 future purchase for your system? Any upgrades and/or new gear coming up this year?
My only real need may be a new phono cartridge, my Dynavector Is getting a bit older but still in good condition, so that may have to be replaced toward the end of the year. Also, you never know when a good deal may come my way on an Audio Research REF 3 Phono! Honestly I’d like to spend a bit more on music this year with all the great new classical titles being released and upcoming titles from MOFI and Analogue Productions. - Buck

I love my current system. Ultimately, I would like to upgrade my dac to a dCS Bartok and my cables up the TA line. This occurring in 2020 is more likely than in 2019. I enjoy Tidal so much I don’t think I will purchase much music.

I do not plan to upgrade my system this year.

I don't see any new purchases this year in terms of my headphone rig, but may finally break into a proper two channel setup with a 'real' pair of speakers. Of course with a new pair of speakers I would need a new amp to drive them...
This sounds like the beginnings of If You Give a Mouse a Cookie. Does a book like that exist for audiophiles? Or would it hit too close to home?

For me i am sure there will be some Loudspeaker cables , upgrade from my trusty Yter cables.
And maybe have my dealer arrange a loan of a pair of Wilson Audio Sabrina´s its not possible for me to get a loan on B&W 803 / 802 D3.

With what happened this past quarter on the equity market there will be no major audio purchases for me 'till we get some recovery.

"plan" being the operative term.

I might ditch my Alexias for vimbergs. That'll make buck happy, anyway.
Seriously I am going to Philly to hear them (again) this year. |

I would really like to buy a Ref 3 phono as well and perhaps new speakers, also looking at the Vimberg line.
