I decided that being single at Christmas again would offer me the chance to get myself something for Christmas. I was able to find a decent deal on a set of Genalex Gold Lion KT88's. Now if I can only find a good set of RCA red base 6sn7's or Mullard's I'd be set.

What did you get yourself?

    Upgraded my front's from Monitor 30' to 60's. I couldn't pass up the deal-Orig. MSRP-$650.....Got'em for $236.
    May be adding an amp for multi zone feed. Still pricing them out.

    I picked up a set of R50's at Frys cheap.

    I was looking for a set of Monitor 60's cheap like Obieone, couldn't find any, so this'll hold us for a bit.

    ....whenever I do find a set of 60's cheap, I'll take the 50's to the daughter and SIL's house, take their 30's, and put them downstairs.

    A rising tide raises all boats, I just wish the tide would come in a little faster.

    :)

    Been watching Ebay, and a guy has re-listed a Sansui 11000 vintage integrated amp a bunch of times.
    "Some water stains along the bottom of the case ..." .
    Guess that's why it keeps getting re-listed.

    ...waiting for him to get fed up and email me back with a "Take the dam thing off my hands for $100 !!".

    I figure I'll be waiting a loooooong time.

If you need help let these guys know. There are many people who will help if you let them know where you are.

    I got myself the gift of heat.

    Paid my bills and bought stuff for other folks. My gifts will come at tax return time, I hope.
