What's your latest audio purchase?

Rehabbing a Dual 1019, and needed a cartridge. I picked up a Shure M95ed, and a EVG stylus. I won't mount the cartridge/stylus until I have everything on the table to my liking.
 
UPDATE TO POSTS #4854 and #4802

I spent a couple hours yesterday and refoamed the AR-18 woofers. The tone generator app on my phone makes it so much easier than messing with dust caps and shims. Early low volume nearfield results are positive. I moved the Rotel receiver into the HTR setup for TT duty and am (very carefully) using the Niles as a source selector. I wanted to hear it hooked up to my KEFs and also the Yamaha HTR amp has no turntable inputs. I'm using the Sony as a backup and test turntable for recently aquired and dubious quality vinyl. Of course the lava lamp makes an appearance lol. It's kind of nice to actually get some use out of recent purchases rather than play with them awhile then shelve them.

Picked up a pair of Epicure 20+ speakers from the son of the original owner. He tried refoaming, but did poorly. The upper woofers have rubbing voicecoils and the lower woofers have off-center cones. They still sound amazing! New refoam kits are on the way, along with new caps. The cabinets are in good shape. Some rubbing and oil and they will look like new. A little work and these will be my new main speakers.
 
There may be a crazy trade deal in the making. I’m gonna keep the specifics to myself for now. But you’ll see a thread if it comes to be.
 
I have a pair of KLH 6's along with the 17's 23's might be forgetting one anyhow would like to get the 6's going but I seem to recall the speaker being very muddy but that was a while ago so I guess I need to recheck them been busy searching out some new amps.
 
I like having a spare power source around in case one of my amps needs to go to the tech or something.....and deeply respect the people who take such great care of their gear.

This looks new....not a mark on top or the faceplate and he was a very nice gent to boot.

Yamaha AX-430....

 
I ordered a DTA3116 amp that should arrive tomorrow. I think I'm going to use it to power some minimus 7's for a desktop system at work.

Thought I'd try one of these new 3116 digital amps. For $40 there isn't much to lose.
