To just stop. Stop the bleed
I am contemplating completing a triumvirate of VAC units by adding a preamp to my VAC Renaissance phono stage and 200iQ monoblocs, but the resident Audio Research REF6 will be tough to beat, even being situated in a brand mismatch.

Focusing on completing a new dedicated audio room in my house. New solid core double door installed to seal off room. Recently completed having Furutech dedicated outlets and wiring added to panel for a low noise floor. Ordering acoustic panels after repainting room and changing out carpet. Then the fun part, un boxing and un crating all of the gear in storage since June. It will be worth the wait.

We look forward to the house warming or should I say listening room warming.

Default What Are Your Audio Plans for 2020???

1) Get my MC2301 repaired.

3) Break in my new Denali 6000 when it arrives.
4) Finally dig into and freshen my Infinity RS IIa. Update caps, new Emits, EMIMS, etc.

No major changes. Probably just some tweaks or updated amp stands.

I will live vicariously thru Charles XVX upgrade.

This year I hope to hang on to my purse strings a little tighter and enjoy the sound systems I have assembled. As it stands at the moment, I have no reason to add or subtract anything to the living room system or the studio system. Time will ultimately reveal the truth. .
