Since I am the "wife"...

...I am the chief instigator of the current upgrade cycle.

The spousal unit is a retired professional orchestral musician and luddite, possessor of various odds and ends of pro gear. He has reluctantly agreed that he can hear differences between amps. But he desperately clings to the hope that lamp cord sounds as good or better than audiophile cabling.

Since he has 4000 LPs and I have 800 CDs we spend a considerable amount of time listening to music together. We're assembling a nice, moderately priced system for the living room. I picked the amp. We both enthusiastically agreed on the speakers.

My goals include getting rid of the two mixing boards that currently hog way too much space in the equipment rack. Everything after that, aesthetically speaking, should be easy. BTW, two walls of the living room and one wall in the dining room are entirely lined in LP shelving. Suits us.

PS: Although we both love Mahler, Wagner and Hindemith, he has yet to convince me of the charms of Bruckner.
