Spend my money

Accessories and Tweaks
1

So I got an amazon gift card burning a hole in my pocket for 100 bucks… I’d like to figure out a tweak or accessory that I could consider… I’m not limited to the 100 bucks -and could consider it a ‘discount’ on something… So here is what I am considering… and other ideas are more than welcome…

  1. backup hard drive (5tb) (boring… but……)
    2)power cord for my DS (would have to be sold on amazon)
    3)unbalanced interconnects - Currently using Audioquest King Cobras.

I am all digital and have my laptop->matrix->DS->Cary Slp98p (tubed)->Sunfire Signature-> Maggie setup awaiting some form of upgrade… :slight_smile: Thanks!!

I use to have Threshold S150 and pre back in the day. I believe he started Sunfire and it looks like he sold it… Nelson started Threshold w/ stasis amps… who am I thinking started Sunfire…

Bob carver. Yes I bought the amp when he was still running it. I do think it is a very high value piece.

Thank You, I had an M500 back in the day, reason I bought the Sunfire… the M400 cube was a big thing in the early 80s…

One of these has become a nearly indispensable part of my audio toolkit (just a thought):

Depending on the model and its capabilities they can be had for less than $100.00 US.

Too funny. Yeah got BHK monos…:nerd_face::sunglasses:
Loved the M500 amp back in the day. My Sunfire subs were OK; however, no where near my REL S3/SHO subs… different zip code… never had Sunfire amps, just amps inside the subs…

OK, for <$20 you can pick up a nice digital thermometer for keeping track of a heated situation w/ money to burn.

Hundred bucks won’t get you the best of anything in the hifi world.
But if you like to cook, this is the best:
