wvu80 Posted January 5, 2018 Share Posted January 5, 2018 It's 2018. What audio gear do you want to buy this year? What audio projects will you start or complete? Home theater, DIY subs, etc. Even though I don't need one, I think I would like to pick up a power amp like maybe an Emotiva 3 channel or 5 channel amp, but I am holding out for a "deal." What say you? +++ Updated 12/17/18 What did you get? Replies starting around Page 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldtimer Posted January 5, 2018 Share Posted January 5, 2018 I say get a sunfire instead, and hold out for a deal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
USNRET Posted January 5, 2018 Share Posted January 5, 2018 Been considering a Mc SACD transport but I'm having a hard time justifying that over the current Oppo 105D. Perhaps a sub swap out? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jimjimbo Posted January 5, 2018 Share Posted January 5, 2018 I'm gonna get a whole bunch of those shitty Dayton caps, and stick em in my Mac amps, and maybe just on one channel so I can A/B and try to figure out what sounds best. I don't think I'll solder them in though, I'll just use alligator clips so I can switch em around real fast. Yea, that's it. And a new snow shovel. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rplace Posted January 5, 2018 Share Posted January 5, 2018 I'm in the process of getting all 4 of my HT amps recapped, service bulletins applied and incandescent lamps converted to LEDs. I should be good with solid state power for another 30 years. After that I'll turn my efforts to 2-channel and buy more records! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
No.4 Posted January 5, 2018 Share Posted January 5, 2018 A pair of B&C DCM50s and maybe a Dave Slagle diy autoformer kit and also maybe an ACA kit if they are ever back in stock in the diya store. Ok, so I already bought the DCM50s. Should be listening to them tonight! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CECAA850 Posted January 5, 2018 Share Posted January 5, 2018 Currently refinishing a 684. Will be recapping and refinishing a pair of MEL H2s after that. Next I'm going to attempt to take the rat fur off a pair of Kzp 250s but I'm not optomistic of having a positive outcome. That will probably be my most challenging project. Purchasing? Possibly a Schiit dac. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
totalcomfort Posted January 5, 2018 Share Posted January 5, 2018 Want to build another long tuba for the back of my room, finish my custom center channel with my 510 horn. Then rebuild my audio rack to fit all my new crown amps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gottajam Posted January 5, 2018 Share Posted January 5, 2018 Unfortunately we are going to downsize. Wife says she is tired of looking at "the beasts" in the living room. I have to agree that they might be a little too much for our room but man I LOVE the P38s. Been looking at Dynaudio C1 Platinum, Dali Epicon 2, Salk and maybe a couple others. I am willing to downsize to some stand mount speakers, but I still want excellent sound reproduction. Oh, the sacrifices we make... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh, the sacrifices we make... That's a bummer. They really don't take up much more room than any other speaker, plus they're absolutely gorgeous. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
