No such thing as lo-fi....just music lovers.

Hi Sean. I gave you +s for your input- very good!! Now; a quote from that Chinese philosopher- : "man with a good watch always knows what time it is,/ man with 2 watches; never quite sure.

I have a main system and a smaller integrated based 2nd
system. I almost never listen to 2nd system, but it is very useful for breaking in cables/equipment, keeps from tying up main system during these times

Also useful when diagnosing any problems with main system,
you can remove suspect items and replace with 2nd system
items to quickly trace source of problem.

Hey Sean. Whatever works for you. I have an integrated, a cd player and one set of speakers. My family and friends think I'm nuts with this stuff. It keeps me off the streets!

My approach is much like Megasam's, ie two systems, and I swap between them. Although not too long ago I owned 5 CD players/transports. I also have 4 amps, but they are pairs. I'd probably collect equipment like Sean, but don't have the storage space. Cheers. Craig
