I almost forgot to buy myself some things for my stocking.

Mye Sound Spikes (1/4"-20) for my SRS2's
Deluxe 1/4"-20 T-Nuts 50 per package so I'll be giving the extras away soon.
Caig DeoxIT Gold
Caig Brushes
Hot melt glue gun and sticks
Soldering Iron

That should cover miscellaneous purchases.

What other miscellaneous products should a guy have? I have plenty of Cardas solder already.

    Hell I don't know. It's funny you ask about it because I had to spend an extra $5.00 to get free shipping so I bought a $15.00 soldering iron. As I remember it is a variable iron.

    I have some myrtle wood blocks under my CDP now.

    My SRS2's have stock screw adjustable feet. The Mye's should be a nice improvement. They have carpet over concrete under them now.

    Hopefully Saturday, maybe Friday. I have to stain a back door so who knows.

    Can't wait.

    The Amperex 6dj8s are burning in nicely. Lastnight was the first time I really liked how they sounded. I was getting worried because I have not noticed any of my tubes sounds changing with burn in. Maybe becuase they were already burned it but first I was dissapointed with the Amperex.

    You have to stain a back door? Take your time and do it right. Should take maybe 45 minutes ;)
