Mark LeBlanc Posted December 2, 2011 Report Posted December 2, 2011 Out of curiosity. For myself, two items stick out. 1. Lectro Venue system - Very nice rack system that gives me great performance with power requirements well within my current battery system. 2. Powerx AA rechargeable batteries - Work great in my Lectro transmitters and love the fact that at the end of the day I'm not shoveling in handfulls of dead batteries to the trash or recycling. Quote

RPSharman Posted December 2, 2011 Report Posted December 2, 2011 A bottle of Laphroaig 31 Year Old Single Malt Scotch Whiskey. Nice! I finally replaced my brick of a mattress with a fancy new pillow-top and expensive sheets. Kicking myself for not doing it years ago. Sleeping has never been so wonderful. Gear-wise... My 2 x CMIT w/ full Rycote systems for $1800 each. My 12 x PR216 for $200 each w/ new BST-75/215 Quote
RadoStefanov Posted December 2, 2011 Report Posted December 2, 2011 It has to be 4 SMQV+2 SRa And the mkh8060 with Rycote WS2 lightweight to compliment my Loon Boom 10' Quote
RadoStefanov Posted December 2, 2011 Report Posted December 2, 2011 When the economy went to hell in 2008 my biggest fear was having to learn to drink bourbon instead of scotch. Who knew alcohol becomes cheaper in hard economic conditions.... Glenlivet 12 years old single malt $22.99 is my drink. A bottle of Laphroaig 31 Year Old Single Malt Scotch Whiskey. Quote

gpiegari Posted December 2, 2011 Report Posted December 2, 2011 I love the idea of this "year-end" topic but as I reflect, 2011 was light for gear acquisitions. I am now inspired to open a very nice bottle of scotch and ponder this... Glen Quote

George Flores Posted December 2, 2011 Report Posted December 2, 2011 I'm with Robert. We got a king size mattress earlier this year. Wife loves it, I love it, cat & dogs unfortunately love it. I think the new Pelsue Tent will win out, considering the old one began to leak last time it rained. Quote
Jesse Watts Posted December 2, 2011 Report Posted December 2, 2011 For me its my new Quickmill Andreja home espresso machine. The thing cost as much as a cl9 but man doest it make a good shot! I also just finished building a new rack based mini cart. I have yet to put it to work, I can't wait for my next feature :-) Quote

Harris K Posted December 2, 2011 Report Posted December 2, 2011 Bought a ton of gear this year, so not much fun in personal realm. But I went up to the 788t this year and, god, it makes the day easy. Everytime the answer is "yup, I can do that" to even the most outlandish requests. Also, guilty pleasure, but Batman: arkham city is just awesome. Quote
