And below is my current and anticipated setup, the unusual element being Germany's Elac speakers.
2 Channel. ZONE 1 - Mac mini [4RAM, iTunes, Apple lossless, optical cable] > Denon VCR-3310 > Chord Odyssey speaker cables > Elac FS 247 speakers [4 ohms]. Shortly to add: Emotiva XLR-2 poweramp + Audiolab 8200CDQ dac/poweramp with Locus Design Polestar USB cable and XLR connectors + Stennheiser HD 650 headphones. ZONE 2: Peachtree Audio Era 4 speakers [6 ohms]

I too felt left behind, ever since the early 1970s when my brother got married and left home taking with him his great hi fi system. I used what I had, which was focused on a pile of wonderful memories and music in various formats. From about five years ago I felt the rumble of digital media. Looking around offered little that I could see as plug and play. In 2009 I stepped accidentally forward when I began to transfer music into iTunes. I took that seriously, building the meta data in it. I did it again, after stumbling onto the realisation that I had not ripped in a lossless format. So there's been a lot of such mistakes and learning along the way. Finally I pulled the trigger in December 2010 by acquiring a Mac mini, Denon AVR-3310 and the remarkable Elac FS 247 speakers. I'm now on a treadmill towards finalising this system which I hope will take me forward this decade.
