What is on your hi-fi wishlist?

[Friesiansam]

My hearing from when I was 20. Eyesight too.

Now that would be nice!

[Cricketbat70]

That revox is nice, I've had a want for reel to reel for a few years but way out of my league.
I can't even afford what is on my wish list:

On my wish list....These please

Franco Serblin Accordo Standmount Loudspeakers

Franco Serblin Accordo Standmount Loudspeakers, The beauty of limitations: how to surpass with a small speaker the evocative ability of a big one.

Just bought a pair of their bigger brother, the Accordo Goldberg. Still running them in, but so far I'm very happy.

Like every one else hear I like my music and would like a nice system if I won some money. Hi End hifi which cost silly money does not interest me (especially those huge amps which sit on crates between two monolith speakers). However if I had some finance to test out Norma Revo 140B amp and Avid Accent amp with ATC SCM40 speakers that would be a nice start, or even ATC SCM40A (active) with perhaps a nice tube preamp to sweeten the sound maybe a nice surprise....😊

 

[Will1962]

My next purchase will probably be a Hegel H400 some time early next year love the sound of Hegel amps you can listen to them for hours without fatigue.

 

[Friesiansam]

Damn it! Wish I had £3995 waiting for something to do. Audio Affair have a Pathos InPol Ear, including optional DAC, at £3995, ex-demo, down from £6,445...

 

[Rodolfo]

A re-issue of Europe on $5 a Day.

The Pathos really nice unique looking tube amp.
2.5K off is almost a bargain!
I've been tinkering about with tube rolling with excellent results. Recently purchased a converter adapter for 6N2 socket on my head amp XDUOO TA-66.
This allowed compatibility with 6SL7/6SN7 tubes.
I was able to upscale to Psvane 6SL7 Art Series preamp tube and today my buffer power replacement tube Sovtek 6AS7G Double triode also arrived.
Really good results, sound stage improved greatly. Well worth the investment.

But, that's before you factor in a headphone upgrade. New headphones good enough to show what it can do, ain't going to be cheap...

Yeah 'fraid so, not cheap.

 

[Revolutions]

Just agreed a pretty darn reasonable price on a nice spec LP12. Probably be a few weeks until I can collect it, quite excited 😎

 

[njprrogers]

I know this is a resurrected thread - but a Lyngdorf TDAI-1120 would be nice. Waiting for a second hand opportunity to come up!

Congrats Matt, got yourself a classic! 😉

 

[daytona600]

Mate bought a old LP12 recently , just swapped out the Linn Ittok/Aask cart/arm for a Wand + 103R

Turntable owners remind me of blonds, they seem to have more fun! 🤣

 

[Clarkey_71]

Just confirming this is a wish list and not a want list?!?

YG are the best speakers I've ever heard.
My local dealer (Criterion Audio) are a distributor and always have different versions up and running in the dem room.
I wouldn't want to greedy, but the Carmel 3 are the entry level, but at just under £32k, a wish and/or dream is all they'll ever be.

Carmel 3 - YG Acoustics

The multi-award-winning Carmel 3 by YG Acoustics is one of the best two-way loudspeakers available today.

I wonder how many pairs of the those that they've actually sold 🤔
(I often wonder that about the expensive stuff).
With all the speaker choice you've got up to that level.....I'd always be wondering what I'd missed out on listening to before settling on them.

I had recently purchased 2.5 gb ethernet adapter from ASUS. The plan was to use it for work , this was meant for my work laptop but most of the time I wasn't using it.

After gathering dust for many weeks, I manage to find a really good use for it but first allow me to provide some context.

I didn't realise, LG TV network adaptors only support 10/100mb LAN connections, not that most people would need more. I assumed for premium TV brand it would have one gb as standard.

4K viewing on Netflix, it's just about OK. I did a speed test and it was maxing out at 79mps.

I had no idea this little device was compatible with WebOS and other operating systems, not just Windows and MACs.

I decided to give it a try, I discarded the LGs Lan port, and plug the ASUS device to the spare USB connection, done the Netflix speed test, it shot up to 250mps!

Not bad!
Well pleased with the purchase, now that I've finally found a proper use for it 🙂

 

[Steve983]

My biggest wish would be to be able to move to a detached property.....in the middle of a field..... then I could get a more powerful amp...and some REALLY BIG SPEAKERS 🙂

 

[GeoffreyW]

£10k.

 

[Al ears]
