My ears are ready to retire!


After many many years of owning great audiophile gear, my ears are ready to retire😀. I am in the process of downsizing my home and my audio equipments. I am now looking for a simple, enjoyable, good sounding and maybe all in one system to play mostly digital music. Any recommendations will be very much appreciated.

"down sizing my home"  Does this mean from a 10x16 listening room to a 10x16 studio apartment?  My divorce made that happen to me.
Looking at the system in your profile.   Appears to be a good system.
I would keep it.  All paid for!  Make them work in the new space.  Trim down by selling the vinyl reproduction components and the Magnepans.  Keep the Digital stuff, Intergrated amp and Fynes.

Sorry to tell you "Once an Audiophile, Always an Audiophile".  Can't make your ears "retire".
I thought I could get by with the FM off my smartphone and my computer speakers to listen to NPR. Talk radio!  Nope. 
I thought I could get by with an old Luxman intergrated, B&W bookshelf speakers and my dvd player to play cds.  Nope.
I found there are limits to what my Ears will accept of lowering my audio standards.  I had to spends more than I wanted to compromisingly satisfy it.  You already have that system.  Make it work.  And be okay with the compromises.  It still will be a darn good system.
