Reproducing a live event (or close) in the living room with an end endless supply of music and genres has been a great journey. Getting things set up and delivering accurate dynamics and a realistic soundstage (yes, you can tell where each musician is, left to right and front to back) has become an enjoyable hobby as well.

That is a nice set-up.

Myself - I have a desk top computer in my art studio area. I must have over 8000 songs on file: a mix of ripped CDs and downloaded music. I transfer this file onto a card which used in my car. I update this when I add music.

I also have vinyl (which sounds so much better). I have a Mac 1900 receiver mated to a Thorens turntable if I just want to listen. Most of this library is pre 1978.
