RE: I have an idea for dealing with my hearing loss (long and probably boring)

This isn't really a helping point but only an observation.

One of my setup uses my Marantz PM-8004 integrated amp as a PREAMP. One interesting find is that the MIDRANGE control seems to afford much more push and enjoyment in the trebl-ish range. The treble control seems to just "tickle" the far upper range. aka more 3000-5000hz effect.

I know replacing a VAC with a marantz is a big step down and I am NOT recommending it. However, I would NOTTTTTTTT recommend the Mcintosh. I've had several of the newer ones and they tend to have a very soft top end. A reason i no longer own one!!!!

You seem to have $$$ to spend. Take your time, enjoy the hunt and don't rush!!!! Get what you need and try to audition as much as possible.
