It’s nice to get to the point where you are listening to music rather than listening to your gear. Maybe your old stuff is just better for you for the music you like.

I know, right, I get bored waiting for that next data point in the 44 thousand samples per second in the CD quality feed. It’s bullshit.

All that diminishing return for something that is not super attractive to have in a room. I don’t particularly care for the industrial look of the high end McIntosh stuff. You could get pretty close for 1/3rd of the price and have a much more attractive, minimal setup. To each their own though.
