He's already brought me new DABs for my bedroom and bathroom and I expect a BluRay player too. The kids have a list of CDs to buy me so it should be a good Xmas.

Hopefully some Ivybridge computer goodness. Although Santa can't be bothered to build it, so I have to do that bit. Lazy old St. Nick.

It's on my wish list but I suspect I'll have to buy it myself. Enjoy!

Are people buying themselves all these really expensive gifts? (ie the high grade components, not the CDs.) Or is this a normal sort of level of present buying? 50 quid's about my limit, to and from.....!

Ummm, he's been a few times already this year I think. Most recently, a Teac UD-H01 DAC, and a Harmon/Kardon HK6850 amp.

A pair of Genelec 6010s and an airport express.
and I am getting her an arrangement with a nice chocolate shop so she never has to pay them, just tell them her name and they will supply unlimited chocolate.

Good call on the Genelec speakers - the 6010s are very nice.

Well, my wife is getting a Denon 38DAB with Boston Acoutics a26s... i'm not quite sure she will appreciate it :)

Im getting man utd slippers... and possibly the beatles paster masters on vinyl, cant afford the complete boxset, or just the stereo mixes so might just get that one, or else buy a couple of albums from a secondhand supplier..

You should also listen to the ECI-3, which is the same price, and many consider better (more organic / musical).

I'm not sure i'll be able to get a demo of it and I can get the PI2 for £1300 ex demo.. One review says it has a bright presentation which puts me off straight away.. I know this is someones opinion but did put me off. Plus PI2 is more powerfull which generally gives a beefier sound which is what i'm after. If I can get a demoI will but tempted to just buy the PI2 as it's ready to go and can enjoy it over christmas :cheers:

Didn't think I was getting anything, but maybe St. Nicholas has decided to get me set of Audio Technica ATH-900X.

That's a good price and unless the ECI-3 can be bought at a similar price, it's not worth worrying about.

FWIW. I don't understand the "bright" comment in a review, as imo. if anything the ECI-3 has a slightly dark treble...it's the P series that has a (very) slightly more modern upfront presentation. If Electro spots this, he is better placed to comment.
