Hopefully a new House!
Fully built veneered Little British Monitor will be arriving at the end of January. Later this Spring, I will build a DIY FirstWatt F4 power amp. I will have all the parts for this rather soon.
Auralic Aries Mini arriving in a few days. Not expecting it to be hugely better than the laptop presently doing duty, but I will be able to remotely control Tidal. Don't imagine there will be any other changes, but who knows what the future holds as a wise guy used to say.
Do you have a preamp that will swing full output voltage? The F4 is a buffer only with no forward gain.
I took delivery of my new headphone amp on New Year's Day, how's that for starting early in 2016 It's truly magnificent driving my HD800's.

It's the final piece of the puzzle on my hifi journey. I've tried to better the rest of my system but everything I've tried hasn't improved upon what I have. I'm finally in my hifi happy place after 25 years of box swapping
I may try a few tweaks in 2016 though (support feet etc)

Years ago, I used to have Kan 2 stands under my Merlins (same box as Sapphires) and the SL24's were a very decent improvement. Makes the Royds shout less, but boogie just the same if not more. Excellent stands, and with only 3 'legs' are a piece of cake to level/stabilise too.
You might be pleasantly surprised.......
