Stick your toe in the water and do venture into the computer audio world for real simplification.
Imagine sitting in your favorite listening spot, iDevice in hand, with every CD and LP you own at your beck and call on your computer's hard drive. In lossless...or WAV...or even DSD format.
And the only reason you'll ever have to get up is to get another drink.

That's what I like. I have a 4-TB hard drive that plugs directly into one of the three USB ports on my Oppo BDP-105D universal digital player and all my music including all my favorite vinyl that I've copied to digital are available at the click of a button on the Oppo's remote control. Talk about simplification! I don't have to even flip a record. Furthermore, I don't believe you can flip a record from a reclined listening position. ;-)
Best regards,

I'm not THAT lazy; I do sit up in my recliner while doing this. But now that you mentioned it, it's not a bad idea. I'll try it!
No, I don't think so, computer audio is for the geeks, if I already have all the music I need in vinyl, CDs, FM, why would I spend the time to rip or download them again. The only other thing I may do is internet streaming, so I am waiting to find a nice basic one like the Logitech Squeezebox for the tube system.
I can imagine it being the ultimate way to simplify, just a laptop and a integrated amp with built in DAC, but that would be just taking away too much of the toys.
AB.
I have no desire to enter yet another portal for music listening. I love vinyl, really almost everything about it, even its imperfections. I love the hands- on experience. When I watch a stylus in a groove I can almost understand where the music is coming from. It's a tactile experience, one I hope not to give up... At least until the nursing home. By then, I'll probably be deaf anyway.
I agree. And I do enjoy my vinyl.
Just not every time I want to listen to a particular album. The stylus futzing/cleaning/brushing, the vinyl vacuum cleaning, the cueing... heck, just the chore of hunting for a particular LP cuts too deeply into my time.
Life is too short. For me anyway.
Oh, I'm so profound. NOT!

Hey Travis,
Cool your little jets, little man. Go chase a butterfly while you still can.
I'm 67 with Stage III cancer. Life is truly short. Existentially.
