Hi Mike, congratulations on the Xmas gifts to yourself. I assume you're hearing a noticeably cleaner sound with improved fidelity with these new fancy cables, right? Sounds like your setup is getting a deserved tweak with the tweeters.

I know I already mentioned my music related christmas gifts, but since you asked, I guess it's ok to brag (again).

A real cool hi tech 'non music' related Christmas gift I got this year is:

This device displays 'floating' caller ID information with name & number as well as displays greeting information & calendar/holidy messages. It also acts as a real time clock. I put it on my Grand piano so I can know who's calling me from where ever I am in the room, or while I'm seated playing the piano. Both a practical as well as a fun novelty gift from my sis.

The best gift of all was the time spent with family & friends, eating, socializing, and singing Christmas carols around the piano, and celebrating the 'true' meaning of Christmas.
