What is on your hi-fi wishlist?

I'd like to find a nice Apollo-R or Apollo, still the best CD player I've had, or for Rega to surprise us all and come out with a new Apollo to sit with the Brio Mk. 7.

My amp, speakers and streamers are going nowhere, and if I can't find a good Apollo I will be fine with the Sony, which was a top model in its day and sounds very nice. It also has a super quiet transport and fast track access.
 
What I really want, and what I am saving for are very different. I am saving for a Marantz 507Z , or a 509X ASAP. Will I then later sell it for twin Macintosh monoblocks and a valve pre-amp sometime later. (still undecided). There is no end to what I want. But I have a grip. It comes down to the space I have in my listening room. If I got a pair Cornwalls, I would have to scale one to gain access to my kitchen. This is where dreams and reality collide. Sorry to bring you all down again.
To calm my anxieties, I have turned my attention to the garden.
All the best,
IAN.

Almost totally happy with what I have, certainly hardware wise. Having recently moved I now have not just more room but also punchy, fruity (!) bass in abundance, probably down to around 30hz in room whereas previously it was slightly on the too much controlled side.

A TT will be next as will be an Ikea Poang chair to use with my headphone station which is not yet set up.

There's one on FB marketplace (around Nottingham) and one on eBay. At least were there last time I looked not more than 2/3 days ago.
 
I am now pretty happy with my setup, having just got hold of a Rega Elex-R. Waiting for my"new" Marantza SA8005CD to be delivered to see how I feel about it. But still have a Technics SL1300 and possibly a Rega Saturn on my Wishlist.Don't think I will upgrade my Wiim Pro Plus (unless I get tired to finding workarounds to play Apple Music). Also happy with my 3 years old Focal Aria 906 - but I can see myself wanting try something different in future.

You'll love the Marantz SA8005. Also plays SACD and usb input will do DSD128.
Nice quality sound. Enjoy 😊
