Nice comment Jeff, - maybe we all should attend to netbased units? Was almost hooked on that BS5 but then again............😕
I've sometimes thought of what I'd do if say I lost my current gear. I would probably opt for a network only approach ala BS5, but at times I wonder if I'd miss the old tech. I would probably go with a BS5, but would feel the need to have a den system of older B&O gear or something. In my den/workbench area now I have several classic older components including a SE tube amp, a classic Harman Kardon integrated amp, a McIntosh C32 preamp, etc.
I don't play LPs or CDs often but I still enjoy the option of doing so, but to be honest 99% of the time I use my music server PC. I guess I'm diverging to where I have my main, make it easy day to day set up and a hobbyist toy system.
