What audio products are you looking at for Christmas? I'm a little wrapped up (pun intended) with my motorcycle right now, so nothing new for me on the audio front.

    Nothing really since I have to take care of school first, but once I am finished with my finals I will most likely be buying myself a new amplifier (or two).

    Just going for an i-pod this year. I'm sick of taking my cd's in the car to have my kids change them and leave them out to get scratched up. On a side note. I'm selling my motorcycle to make room for a project car. I'm feeling that tinker bug and need something to work on.

    She wouldn't have it all to herself then. :p

    I have no idea what I'm asking for yet. Everything I want would be too expensive for the parents or GF to afford.

    A more powerful amp for the Amazings but I'm not holdin' my breath. Usually with this stuff, I gotta buy what I want myself.

    I'd like some FXI-3's from the better half, but that's just too much to ask for considering we are still "move broke".

    Probably just a PS3 game or 2...

    Mine came early so I'm focussed on the other members of the family for Christmas. Besides, the two remain Audio Research REF pieces are too much to ask for. I'll do that next year.

    I really don't know. maybe a I-pod Nano, but I'm trying to decide if I'd even use one. I'd like some decent speaks for the workout room, maybe some M5's, but I'd have to get them myself.

    Mrs Rat would like a flat screen something for the bedroom. Maybe we'll just go that way instead.

    Hey Wing...

    What song is that on your website under 2 channel. She has a beautiful voice. Not really my type of music normally, but found it very nice.

    We put a $100 dollar limit this year on our spending for eachother... not that it ever helps! Ha. I just hope to get Crysis. That would make my year! :D:D:D

    Wingnut,
    Nella Fantasia is track #10 on the Eden CD. I don't think it's on La Luna unless you have a non-US version I'm not aware of.
