As for digital, I have my old decent sounding CEC belt drive player, I'll see the direction digital goes. Unfortunately, for me at least, all the new music is digital, I ... | |
| Please tutor me on some integrated amp basics. There is yet another group. People who consider cables components, and they are components, and have good enough hearing.Just because Magico shows with certain cables does not necessarily mean that they will be best for any application.

Usually, audiophiles gradually improve their systems, with some errors and sometimes surprises. Many buy used, if they can find what they look for. It mig... | |
