Indeed yes - a fifteen-year old Krell or Bryston will be all the amp
you'll ever need. Note however, that CD players only really peaked
about five years ago.

Stewart, in what way would you say CD players "peaked" as recently
as five years ago? What were the shortcomings prior to that?

Even the recent good quality CD players sounds a lot better than what was
possible 5 years ago. It is easy to hear the difference. The newer CD
players sound a lot more "analogue" and has solved the worse problems with
jitter and D/A conversion.
