Default Oh No, Not Again!! Will This be the last time with my _____________ . Stay Tuned!
There's something wrong with me, what am I doing? Another contest you say? The last one seemed to be somewhat successful, especially for Serge , so hey, let's do it again!

So The Avalon Acoustics Isis are in the room and sounding superb, yet the Lu flu, audiophile upgraditis, call it what you will has hit me hard........like the classic sketch from Saturday Night Live with the Blue Oyster Cult......."I got a fever.....and the only prescription, is more audio gear." I found a deal that I couldn't refuse.

So here's the rules, contest runs until, let's say, next Wednesday at midnight. What on earth has Buck gotten himself into this time? The only hints I'm giving right now is that it's obviously not a new pair of loudspeakers or a new pair of subwoofers. Everything else is fair game. Categories are cables, power products, amplifiers, preamplifiers, disc players, DACs/computer audio. Also remember to include everything, for example, if you think it's a transport and DAC, you must list both correctly together to win. If there's no one is declared the winner after some time, I may start to drop hints, so check back often. So let's do this, what did I get myself into this time?

Winner gets a CD/SACD of their choice.

Edit....I need to change my avatar.

EDIT: I'm going to edit the categories really quick.......let's take out cables, there's just a million choices and who knows what would work best with my system, so let's eliminate cables but we need to add analog/vinyl. Don't know how on earth I forgot about that....so analog, power products, amplifiers, preamplifiers, disc players, DACs/computer audio

Maybe an update to the CD/SACD player with a McIntosh MCD600?

No, don’t listen to radio, we can eliminate tuners as a category.
