My “new” 2 channel setup

I have not had a 2 channel setup since I was in college back in the mid 80’s and that was a lower level Technics receiver and cassette deck along with Technics speakers. It was all I could afford and I used it until about 1993 when I got into HT surround sound. Over the years I built a decent surround system that I used for both stereo and multi channel listening. I was happy with what I had.
A couple of years ago I found I was mostly listening to 2 channel so decided it was time to up my 2 channel game. I picked up a LUXMAN SACD player locally that really impressed me so I went in search of either a preamp to pair with my Parasound A21+ or a quality integrated amp. I ultimately came across a nice deal on a LUXMAN 509x integrated and my wife and I did a 16 hour round trip to pick it up in person in PA. That was about 2 months ago. I am using it to power my L800’s and the sound I am getting is the best I have ever had in my room. I do want to get a decent streamer and DAC but for now I’m running my laptop via USB into the D-05u with no complaints.
I think I have only powered up the multichannel setup a couple of times since October and don’t miss it at all.

👍👍👍Political Correctness'.........defined
"A doctrine fostered by a delusional, illogical minority and rabidly promoted by an unscrupulous mainstream media, which holds forth the proposition that it is entirely possible to pick up a t-u-r-d by the clean end."
