F cancer! Both my parents survived it and are in remission. Attitude and positivity is everything!! My best to you!
Regarding integrateds, sorry if I missed budget but in the $2k range, I auditioned Rega Elex R and Bel Canto C5i on Maggie LRS (the new budget model), and overall I preferred the Rega.
Bel Canto had better clarity but I was more drawn in emotionally by the Rega, which had a fullness and grit and depth that I appreciated more.
Good luck and keep fighting
