I am more music lover than audiophile. So I will try to listen more music than spend too much time build my system. All my system component are bought used to lower the cost. My 1st speaker is a pair of PSB Stratus Gold powered by yamaha receiver. Then I added McCormack DNA 0.5 amp and TLC preamp. My 1st CD player is the Marantz cd63. As a poor student living in a dorm, These component plus the music CDs from public library gave me so much joy while listening. As I move to a big house, I added a pair of martin logan Aries for string and vocal listening. In the mean while, I go to live music more often including Berlin symphony. As you can see, I am now a happy owner of a pair of b&w 801 s2 special edition. As you can see, I don't have vinyl recording. I only listen to digital including CDs and lossless tidal streaming. I believe music future is digital streaming. I am a happy listener to live stream from Berlin symphony. What I want now, just listen to my classic music collection.
If God does have a time machine (doubtful) he doesn't rent it out Bill. In his infinite goodness our Lord has allowed the Legacy of the Great Soul to be everywhere in equal measure .
P.S . Been on a Buxtehude kick lately, his organ music as played by Tom Koopman shows him to be right in there with J.S., at least on that instrument .The walk was worth it .
