I did my decadal audio revamp last year keeping only the speakers and rack, whilst replacing amp, CDP and TT. So out with the Luxman, Technics and Sony and in with McIntosh, Rega and TEAC.Also Blu Sound streamers are in. All was groovy until, at the very end of December, I collapsed with a brain hemorrhage and was whisked to our local emergency teaching hospital by ambulance, siren blaring,red lights run through, the whole shtick. At least that's what my medical record reports: I remember nothing until March. From I to O the system sounded very much of a piece. I won't bore with details, but the McIntosh MA7200 plays very nicely with 5 digital inputs and trimmable analogue IO galore. The p8 / Neo/ Alpheta do the Planar thing but more so and I was happy camper-san. FWIW I haven't been able to return home since, but am making progress with recovery.
