What was the last bit of gear you bought in 2023?

I’ve never really considered the Mu-So, but I’ve just been reading about the new Mu-So 2 and it is definitely going to be demoed for the bedroom when we do it next year.
What a brilliant piece of kit, at least on paper… :thinking:

Sure the Muso 2 is better then the QB2. But my goal was somesort of portability and the QB2 fits very fine for that.

Yeah, the Qb2 will be useful to take with us when we travel by car.

After following your journey the last few years this purchase doesn’t come as a surprise. There are some things so close to ones soul that one keeps returning to them. For you its N-Sats, for me Bow ZZ electronics. Enjoy!

My last bit of gear was an ARO with its accessories (LP12/maple plinth, ARO Kore, Karousel, Krystal, and Lingo 4).

So was it just the “Aro” that was purchased recently or the whole deck :man_shrugging:t4: :thinking:

ARO came first, then the whole deck. :sweat:

Have purchased Focal Sopra 2s, 52 and 3 powerlines in last month. Sounding pretty damned good.

Well called in to see my “local” dealer friend yesterday & picked up my Nait 50 - as I’ve had to actually grace work with my presence today it’s still in its box waiting till morning when I’m in my office - hope that makes sense? Also got these to play with plus some dare I say this different cables to try! Chord Epic power cables and speaker cable so they’ve been bedding in for a little while b4 my evening session….

I have had DB1’s since 2019 as well as other similar small ProAcs since 1990, so I suppose you could say that I am a bit of a fan.

Very easy to listen to for long periods &, to my ears, possessing plentiful bass for a smaller space.

Will be interested in what you think of them.

PS. I cannot hear any difference whether the speaker grills are on or off so I keep mine on as I think they look better. It also maintains domestic harmony!

Planning on collecting a used pair of Tannoy Turnberry GR coming days if the flooding allows me to travel. Crazy shi**y weather around here in Sweden this summer. Global heat success…

Not my picture or dog so hopefully the dog had a bad day or didn’t get paid well enough for the photo session :smile:

Hey Dan, if you have the energy, you could mount your centre speaker on a floating IKEA shelf and lower the tv onto the unit. Hiding the cables with some wall matching conduit. I’m glad I did it. Just a thought. Here’s how mine looks to give you an idea.

Some nice custom Mogami / Canare 3m long RCA cables for my active system on TV duties.

These look like some serious speakers.

I see a lot of Turnberrys round my way. Which isn’t surprising as they distributed by TEAC here and paired with their Esoteric brand often.
