looking for an integrated amp in the $1500 range

Digitally recorded vinyl vs streaming
I've asked myself this same question. I doubt there's a singular answer, but I basically save my vinyl purchasing for analog recordings only. There are exceptions, but that's my rule of thumb. Just seems like the sonic benefits are maximized when ...

What's the best and/or favorite piece of equipment you've owned? And do you still own it?
Original Snell Type J speakers. I listened to more great music on them than on any other piece of equipment...still have them, but let's say they're retired.
