What New Stuff Have You Bought? If You Care To Share Thead! :)

Stopped by the local ReUse store for a light switch and cover plate. Saw a newer looking TV against a wall so took a closer look. Picked up a TCL 55R613 for $70. It came with a Sanus SMF218 wall mount. Picture is excellent. TV almost seems like was hardly used, remote still had the TCL batteries in it. Screen appears to be perfect though I still need to clean it.

Got these four cassettes and 2CD hits set for only $7 at the thrift store yesterday. The recent cassette deck I got actually works really good for playback. Not sure about the Recording feature yet.

Just won these. I remember getting these back in the day from Tower records outlet store for about $5 each. Great deal.

Vinyl/CD

Dang dude that's a great get. Holy mackerel. Enjoy it.

Paradigm Defiance X12 v.2 for the home theater room. Unfortunately, I bought it yesterday morning and then left to go back out of town for 2 weeks yesterday afternoon. I did however get it all set up and tested before I went. Tested it with Avengers: Age of Ultron. All I can say is: wow. I thought having one of these subwoofers was awesome. Two just blew me away. I can't wait to get back home and really test them out.

Not new, just repaired, this Sony TC-WR87ES Sony Compact Cassette Recorder, purchased new back in mid 1990's as I recall, has been lifeless for the last 15 years; but, for grins and giggles I recently had it repaired, about $271 worth of rubber, and epoxy for cracked gears. At any rate, now it's back in my equipment cabinet working as expected and looking cool; yet, not seeing much use.

I bought these two items and am now ready to buy a kayak..

Here's my kayak which I bought used. Its a Perception Carolina 14' complete with a rudder. Now I need to buy a decent paddle as my arms are too short to reach the water.

Visited the local used / new record store today, the used bins looked pretty ratty so splurged on some new LP's!

I'm investing (i.e. splurging) on new PC speakers, and have ordered these:

Combining precision, adaptability and a small footprint, the 8330A offers colour-free performance and powerful room compensation features.

And a GLM Kit for calibration:

I just purchased an Allnic phono preamp. My vinyl collection has captured my interest again. Changing phono pres is refreshing.

Whoa that looks expensive. I hope it makes your records sound flawless. Hope to see you on the Vinyl listens thread. Enjoy.

I dont expect that result. What I am interested in is the transformer coupled output. It supposed to give a different sound vs capacitor coupled. I am hoping for a sweeter midrange and just a mellower sound over all. The tube head amp, I expect per a few reviews from owners, reproduce a big sound stage. I'd like a healthy helping of that.

I hope it meets your expectations and welcome to the best forum in audio.

Thank you. Hoping so. I have a BAT VK-P5 which I like very much. Also a Sonneteer Sedley phono stage. This will be the first transformer coupled phono pre for me. If it works out, and I like the sound, I'll be on the lookout for a BAT VK-33SE line stage premap, which is also transformer coupled. Fingers crossed that it is a not a noisy little thing.

Curious to read what you think about the Genelec. Lot's of on-line praise but never seen any in my area.

Hopefully I get them this week, and I sure look forward to try them out. I even ordered a Genelec sub that also can be calibrated using GLM. When the calibration is done it can be stored in each speaker/subwoofer so no need to have the GLM kit connected or have software running on a PC.

Our latest update to the house. Updated master shower. For the cost I could have had a really nice new set of speakers.

Are you saying you re-did part of your bathroom and DIDN'T put in any speakers?

We redid the entire room. This was the last part and I didn't do the tile this time which is why it looks so much better. I tried to get speakers (or a speaker) in the ceiling and I was told it was not necessary. I am saving this fight for some new outdoor speakers next to the fire pit.
