Christmas gifts for the audiophile? [message #84124]

Or, what to buy the audiophile who has everything? I have one of those relatives, who loves music and is near impossible to buy for. Just once I would like to get him something other than an Amazon voucher. Are there any silly trinkets, or little gifts that someone into audio or music would love?

A windup Gramophone. Go the antique route if you can afford it. Or just something vintage that can be a centerpiece of sorts. A conversation starter.

Everyone loves media. Vinyl records, Bluray concert videos, etc.

That might work for me as well. Does everyone have one of those people who are impossible to buy for? Well, impossible without resorting to gift cards and keeping receipts.

I would like a bigger house so I can set up a bigger listening room. The one now (12W X 17L X 10H) is just a bit small. Something like 25 or 30 W and L would be nice Cool

Good Listening

OK, I'll just wrap that and put the tree on top of it Laughing

Last time I bought a signed limited edition, he already had it. Short of breaking into his house and riffling through his collection, buying music is a bit of a lottery. I might go with the gramophone and see how he takes it.

When buying music and/or video gifts, I usually get gift receipts. Frankly, I do that with a lot of stuff, clothing and other things too. That way the recipient can always exchange the gift if they want to.

That's a tough one. I love music, too, but I know even though people share a love for music it doesn't necessarily mean that they will like the gifts that you get for them. I'd give them the gift receipt, too.
