Christmas Gift Ideas

[audioqueso]

Well, it's about that time again.
I was thinking we can make a gift idea list that can benefit us in two ways.
Let's think of toys that one can give an audio euthusists. This way we can get an idea of what to give someone else, plus if the list is nice and full, you can always forward the address of this thread to someone who wants some ideas for you.

Hey, I like the way Cinema Bob thinks. :B

Oh, I discovered something else my new 22 dB noise exclusion AM/FM headphones are good for. WIND/cold EXCLUSION! I raked up a bunch of nuts in my back yard yesterday with windy conditions, and could hear radio talk shows, music, whatever without any wind pickup at all. Of course, they are closed so tight you do have a bit of perspiration. But what an added benefit for northern residing people to keep the cold/wind out of your ears while shoveling snow, whatever. I doubt I will do extended time outside this winter without these things, love it.
