Christmas audio wish list.

Unread post by Ordinaryman »

Just for fun. If Santa's wish list worked what would you ask for. Something you have always wanted or desired. Don't forget were talking audio stuff here :grin:
For me it would be an Nva integrated complete with mm input along the lines of aap50/70. Failing that some Ls5/6 or cube3s.
What would you ask for :epopc:

Apart from the obvious top-of-the-line NVA black box and cable suite - complete with the pending 3-way speakers - I'd like a Primare DAC 30, simply because I'm curious as to how it would sound with my Primare CD player and amp, and at £2K I'm never likely to find out any other way.

[EDIT]
Actually, thinking about it, I'd like a complete Primare setup please, as my two bits counted as "entry-level" in their catalogue. A pair of A35.2 power amps, an I35 modular integrated amplifier, and a DD35 – CD transport with an I35 DAC. If there's any room left in Santa's sack I wouldn't mind trying a PRE35 Prisma modular preamplifier and network player too. :lol:

An integrated starter amplifier and starter speakers, optimised for matching and, if possible, for a maximum of 500 euros for the amplifier and a maximum of 500 euros for the pair of speakers. The amplifier must have at least two inputs.

It doesn't matter if it's not for Christmas 😁
