What was the the last audio-related item you purchased?

^^^ I didn't know they were still available new, that's an almost obsolete item anymore.
 
About a month ago I added a BluDento bluetooth receiver to my integrated amp to stream music. Sounds good and very easy to use.
 
A 6.2 volt zener diode for the mute circuit in my Heathkit AJ-29 tuner, some new Pamona minigrabbers, to trouble shoot amps, etc., and a bunch of new capacitors in case I have to replace any in my old Heathkit AA-29s, AR-29s, and AA-2010, including the two 10,000 uF rail filter caps for the AA-2010. Those two caps were not cheap because they are made in the original size to fit in the original clamps.

It has a Sumiko Black Pearl but it deserves better. Thinking my Denon DL301 will be nice, or maybe the Pickering XV15 1200E, one of my Grados, a Grace, still undecided.

I believe it's the same as the 681EEE. I purchased it NOS, along with the original D1200 stylus. I also have a NOS XV15 625E and stylus, it's on my Mitsubishi DP-EC8 and the 1200 on the Thorens.

Will most likely get the Grado Platinum wood body retipped and mount that once I make the new plinth.
 
Just a week or so ago I bought a modular audio gear shelf from a CL sale. Solid piece, in good shape, cost all of $20... The last piece of actual audio gear I bought was a several months ago when I got a an upgraded nude elliptical stylus for my old Stanton cartridge.
 
An SAE 5000 impulse noise reducer. I tried it out with too good an LP - no clicks or pops. It has a hum too, so will try different cables today.
 
All the electrolytic caps and a few resistors for a Yamaha C-40 DSBG cleanup and refresh, along with a small project box, binding posts, and a small wall wart power supply to finish the aforementioned diyAudio speaker delay and DC offset protection project.

Unfortunately, I underestimated the order size so it all shipped FedEx ground rather than USPS First Class. That means Monday delivery instead of today. :(
 
Purchased woofer surrounds and 2 sets of capacitors to recap Advent Maestros and DA PS-10s. This is my first dip into speaker repair with a little desire to improve. I grabbed Mundorf MKP Classic caps for the PS-10 and Mundorf EVO oil with a Jantzen Superior Z-Cap baypass for the midrange and EVO oil for the rest on the Maestros. I know, this is overkill but I purchased these for my mom back in 1990 as a Christmas gift. I am sure I have spent more than they are worth but I have no intention of ever selling them, They have huge sentimental value.
 
On the currently slow boat from Amazon : the pricy iFi brand ipower ultraclean output SMPS wall wart to upgrade/replace the 5v one that came with my recent Pro-Ject S2 DAC/headphone amp purchased one, in hopes of maybe a little more perceived SQ improvement. :idea:
 
Well the Kickers showed up so connected them to the living rm system for a test run. These are going out on the rear lanai and will be connected to the amplifier section of the Kenwood KA7300, it's sitting idle anyway.
