As I age, I value simplicity more. These days there are many fabulous integrateds out there, some with very good streamer DACs built-in. I've been fortunate enough to build 2 systems around such pieces and enjoy the hell out of them. This is the main system.
Eugene, I spotted on a previous thread that you did listen to both the Bel Canto 2.5 and the Berkeley Series 2. Is there a big difference? I have the 2.5 but I always wanted to try the Berkeley. You can see my system in the Virtual Systems...it is not extremely high end but resolving enough. Thanks.
