After years of separates, I'm going integrated. Anyone else do the same?

I am sure that I'll be going for integrated in about 10 years when I think I would lose much of my hearing capability. Also, for convenience and space. No vinyls, no CDs, strictly digital streaming. I don't think I can handle adjusting VTF, ... on my turntables any more by then. I might go for all in one system (except for speakers). 

I’m now thinking of ordering or waiting on the new McIntosh 8950. The mark up on Accuphase is thru the roof. Luxman is right behind. At least with the McIntosh, I’m in the same country dealer mark ups are all similar), resale is decent AND I can purchase within driving distance. 

One other integrated to consider is the Aesthetix Mimas integrated. You can add a phono card and a DAC card but they are both optional. When I bought mine I compared, in my system, Hegel 360, Luxman 590, Ayre AX-5/20, Ayre EX-8. I almost bought the EX-8 as I liked that one the best until I heard the Mimas. It’s extremely musical with great dynamics and a very detailed midrange. I have the DAC  card in mine and will be adding the phono card next. Overall  the best integrated I’ve heard. I had Aesthetix separates for many years as well as a balanced pair of Quicksilver V4's with a Calypso preamp before going with an integrated amp. First the Ayre AX-7e and then the Mimas. All great sounding products but I find the Mimas a great fit in my current system. Also, unlike some the products suggested, Aesthetix gear is easily serviced in the US should any issues arise. I would not go back to separates for any reason now.

If you have a dealer who will let you try it in your system I would recommend it. Good Luck!

I am about go with the Rogue Audio Pharaoh II integrated to replace my Rogue RP-1 preamp and McIntosh MC2120–I am the Mc’s original owner since 1980 and had it refurbed about ten years ago.  I’m driving Fyne Audio F702s from Apple Lossless and a NAD C568, via a Schiit Bifrost 2 DAC.  The speakers sound great but not quite as good as at the dealer’s, where it they were driven by a 250+ watt amp.  They really “open up” at moderately high volume, so I think a bit more power would be helpful.   The soundstage is wonderful in terms of depth and lateral dispersion, and I am actually hearing things in well- known pieces that I did. It hear in my earlier system—NAD C356BEE driving Infinity Modulus satellites (with EMIT tweeter) with a sub. Also, one less piece of equipment, and a bit less expensive, with the Pharaoh II at 250 wpc vs their DragoN at 300 wpc. Once I make the move, I’ll give a report.
