mpw, are you looking at vinyl or digital or having both? Also in digital, files or cds?
I think the first step is to finalise what your source of software will be. This will be largely dependent on what you have already collected over the years.
If you are going for only one source for serious listening, go for the one that is well mastered and gives you 80-90% of the music you listen to.
Above is something only you can decide. Once you’ve firmed that up, members here could possibly contribute towards hardware suggestions.
