System Mumbles: Digital front end consists of a CDP and a network music server hooked up to digital separates - a reclocker and jitter suppressor feeding an outboard D/A Converter then to an impedance buffer, delivering signals to an integrated tube amp (fall/winter) or a classic SS power amp (spring/summer), finally driving a pair of legendary floorstanders.
44.1/16 remains viable when implemented thru digital separates.
After 32 years (1978) I returned to vinyl and resurrected my records.
Musical experience through this modest setup continues to be unbelievably rewarding, old recordings sound fabulous once again, digital playback is engaging, and the system is mysteriously more resolving, Praise the Lord! Music reproduction is superb for acoustic music - jazz, vocal jazz, folk, and classical.
Overall, I'm confident it passes the around-the-corner test.
