Re: Not a good weekend...
My Dad had dementia. Towards the end, the only time he remembered anything very clearly was when I played him his old music tapes. Consequently we spent most early evenings singing Irish rebel songs as loud as we could manage. Apart from the obvious, those must have been good times for the both of ...

Re: Where do I go from here?
Lossless streaming - Tidal or Qobuz - and a decent budget dac should make a very obvious improvement. The £300m NVA starter pre-power combo looks to be about the best bargain in hifi.

Re: Hi-Fi mythology
You have a mountain to climb, but each 'face' offers different challenges to the climber.
