My ears are ready to retire!

After many many years of owning great audiophile gear, my ears are ready to retirešŸ˜€. 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.Ā

Take a break from the analog grind. Washing records, up every 20 minutes and reset the needle...it is a drag. I have a love affair with my Bricasti, it serves as a preamplifier. Very high end gear...

My suggestion is to get a Sony Walkman and Grado GR10E earphones. The sound is excellent and portable. Ā If you get them from Amazon and they disappoint, a full return is easy.

from someone who owns two ( and a bunch of high end analog gear ), the NAIM Atom paired with a nice pair of even moderate 86-87db speakers will satisfy. Easy and there is a World of music out there.....
have fun, enjoy retirementĀ

For older ears, I strongly recommend tone controls & a loudness switch on your amp.
Your ears will feel like they are 15 yrs old again :-)
