TAX TIME: What are you geting????

Screwed.

[Chris D]

What am I getting?

Ummmm.... the chance to pay down some debts?

[ClosetSciFiGeek]

You guys are really downers on this whole tax thing. I am thinking about shaking down the wife for:

Emotiva USP-1, 2xXPA-1's

[Hdale85]

2 xpa-1's....mmmm yummy

[audioqueso]

I'm gonna end up paying this year. No green numbers on Turbo Tax this year.

[Ron526]

Taxes

Taxes=Income
It's good to pay taxes.
Hopefully not tooo much and with
readily available funds.
Regards, Ron526

[audioqueso]

It's good... NEXT year. :B

[Top Cat]

I was thinking of a professional audio calibration, but I haven't made up my mind yet.

[numberoneoppa]

I get to pay off bills and rent, all right!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I bet you guys are so jealous.

[kgveteran]

Town, county, school taxes ho hum ......

I bought this with my refund, for my 58V10. Standout Designs E7022-solid Pensy ash. Just add grey glass. I'm upgrading everything.. Next week SC-25 or 27. In the next 2-3 months Monitor Audio GS10's (probably rosenut) -matching GS stands, GS-LCR center.. maybe RX series surrounds (RX-FX). I'm holding out for an SB-13 in a few months as well, for the low end.

First post!!! :lol: Tax money going straight into the basement and furniture for the basement so I can start my Home Theater baby!! Hope you members are ready to give some much needed advice. ;x(

[wkhanna]

Welcome to the forum, HTL!

Best avitar I have seen in ages, BTW :T

[ClosetSciFiGeek]

Dewalt 734 planer and Powermatic 54A jointer. Hardwoods here I come. My wife decided I need to build her new kitchen cabinets after seeing how well my speakers turned out.

[Hdale85]

Wow PM jointer, getting into the big bux. Not sure I would go that route as Grizzly seems to make some awesome jointers for the money and have heard nothing but good things. Could spend 2k on a 8" PM or 2k on a 12" Grizzly

[audioqueso]

HTL, your avatar is so funny! It's great!
Dougie, take your time with the UMC-1. Excellent sounding unit, but it needs time to get all bugs worked out.

[Hdale85]

Ah but I don't think any of the bugs are super serious. Either way I won't be getting one right now probably. Maybe in a couple months.

[audioqueso]

Ah but I don't think any of the bugs are super serious....

That's cause you haven't had to live with it yet. lol
It gets annoying fast after dealing with it on a daily basis.

[David Meek]

A Kindle DX (already ordered) and probably a 1-1/2 hp shaper from Grizzly. I've got a lot of cabinets and such to build.

[HTLuver]

wow, that's some serious equipment!! A guy that is helping me finish my basement/HT was talking about a piece of equipment that takes the wood and with one swipe creates mold, log siding, all sorts of things with different bits. He said it's loud and you have to wear face shield and ear plugs. I have a lot of respect for you wood workers... it's a fine art in many ways. ;x(

[Chris D]

Cool stuff, David!

[Burke Strickland]

An Oppo BDP-83 is a great choice whether or not the tax refund covers it. It would serve admirably in the main system as well as in a bedroom system. For music lovers, the Special Edition is especially worthy of consideration for its enhanced analog 2-channel capabilities. (This is based on personal experience, not just reading the internet hype.)

David, I know that woodworking equipment will be put to good use. Enjoy!

I'm buying my parents a 46" Samsung LCD TV. They've helped me out with the house and repairs and buying me a new fridge and I feel that I need to repay them and they (for whatever reason) seem to not want to go buy themselves one... So I'm taking my return and getting them one.

[looneybomber]

A little bit larger savings account.

Oh, but I'm selling off a lot of unused audio gear to hopefully completely fund a new front sound stage of Dynamic 4T's and 4CC. Funds for the 4cc have already been acquired. The 4T's are optional, but I need a large center for sure!

[Face]

W4S DAC-2 and some misc. caps, rca jacks, and resistors to upgrade my preamp.

[Alaric]

Turns out I'm building a computer with a refund. Big honkin' AMD 4 core CPU and maybe a speaker kit from PE.

[htsteve]

Already got it. A McIntosh MC402 amp to power 802D's. A magnificent pairing.

[maseline_98]

Well...my wife bought a Mercedes c300 so I finally got my UMC-1. It's buggy, but at least I can use it when it rains...lol...my wife won't use her new toy when it rains...

Oh...and I got new xovers for my frontstage Klipsch....Things are starting to sound pretty amazing....now for 3-XPA-1s....doubt it will ever happen, but I doubt my wife would ever get that car and she did...lol

[scarpi]

Unfortunately, a new ac unit for our house and alot of dental speciality work for TMJ desease (a painful jaw joint disorder). Oh well I'm happy with all my current gear.

[The Desert Fox]

I snagged a VPI Scoutmaster w/JMW signature arm , SDS controller, Dynavector 20XL cartridge...and I am angling for a PS Audio GCPH. I had 2 years of tax refunds to spend.

[David Meek]

GOOD catch Alan. :T

[The Desert Fox]

Actually, after hearing things like "bright" sounding regarding the PS Audio GCPH, I have opted to go with the Musical Surroundings Nova Phenomena phono stage.

With the remnants of my tax refund, I have spent $600 on new/used vinyl, mostly to replace stuff stolen by roomates in 1992. Curiously enough, they left all my original Led Zeppelin alone, and for that I am grateful.

[wkhanna]

Nice choice of equipment!

I am considering a cart upgrade at the moment and the 20XL is on my short list.

[Bob]

We used ours as a downpayment on a vacation home in North Carolina.

[Chris D]

WOW! Very cool, Bob. :T

[David Meek]

We used ours as a downpayment on a vacation home in North Carolina.

That's great Bob! Coincidently, Jen's 1st cousin bought a "retire early" home last year in the hills just outside the Raleigh-Durham area. It's pretty beautiful there. We're hoping to visit this fall.
