2011 Review and Confessions
Ok .. fess up ... now that 2011 is drawing to a close, what did you end up buying this year to add to your hifi collection and what did you end up getting rid of to make space for your new components?
My guilty treats are as follows:
IN
Squeezebox Touch (x2)
Wadia 151 Power DAC
MF VDAC II
Creative XFi HD USB ADC/DAC (for vinyl recording)
OUT
Nothing yet ... just moving things from room to room 
In:
Marantz M-CR603, Rega R3 speakers, Panasonic (Freeview/Freesat HD) 32" LED TV, iPhone 4, Airplay.
Out:
Naim CD5i, Nait 5i, NAT05, n-SATs, Beresford DAC, old (no Freeview HD) 32" Samsung LCD TV, iPhone 3GS.
Quite modest for me I'm afraid...

More innies than outies so far ... looks like we are all holding on to our hifi ... silicon heaven (where all the calculators go) or that auction site will be all the poorer. I would like some of my ex equipment to move on to a nice home, but can't let them go just yet.
