Now that I have retired and downsized I'm finding the convenience of digital and headphones very alluring. Still have my SP10 and all my original gear, but at this stage CD/Lite Dac60 with Bugle Boys/Tim DeParavicini Headcase headphone amp into either Jays U-jays or AUDIO Technica AD900s is keeping me happy.
Despite downsizing the hifi into a bedroom system I'm not enjoying music less, but i am enjoying life more.
Without music, powerboat racing, photography and a whole stack of other stuff that floats my boat, life is just a non stop procession of deadlines and bills.
