I converted over to digital beginning in 2016. I still have my +/- 400 meticulously maintained LPs from the 70s and 80s, but I sold my beloved Technics SL1800 MkII turntable several years ago. I don't think I will ever buy another one.
My current system is relatively humble and minimalist; everything virtually concealed except for the integrated amp, with the obvious exception of the speakers and subwoofers, the latter which are down-firing and dressed in custom slipcovers because featureless black boxes are boring to look at. Gone are the days of stacks of separates and spinning platters.
There are about 5000 tracks on the NAS plus the streaming function of the player, a hell of a lot more music inventory and resources than I ever imagined I might some day have on hand back in the day.
Bluesound Node2
Synology Diskstation
NAD C368 DAC amplifier
Martin Logan Motion 40i towers on custom plinths
Martin Logan Dynamo 1100X self-powered subwoofers (2) w/ Anthem room correction
246 sq' listening room
Good sounding rig for the money, around $7K CAD.
