| Powering Legacy Audio Speaker System A receiver usually is an all-in-one unit. It usually refers to something that has an amplifier(s), preamp, tuner, DAC, and controls video. It will decode surround sound input like DTS, Atmos, etc. It may also have a phono stage. They are gener... | |

| Tube Amps With Good Bass Qualities When I had my Legacy Audio Focus 20/20 speakers and drove those with my Rogue Audio M-180 monoblocks, the bass was stupendous. That didn't stop me from combining them with 4 subwoofers though. New, these are over your $5K budget, but I bought a ... | |
| Worth pursuing analog sound from digital? Can digital "be as good as analog?"I think that's in the ears of the beholder. I love vinyl. I love digital. For me it's not an either or proposition. In many ways, my MHDT Labs r2r Orchid DAC streaming Qobuz sounds better than my turntable, a Cle... | |

| Powering Legacy Audio Speaker System Check out accessories4less. They have a number of receivers in your price range. I don't have any specific recommendations as all of my gear is comprised of separates. I'd look at some of the Yamaha offerings. | |

| Qobuz Uber, I get it now. The Chromecast is a bargain DAC! | |
| High output MC cartridges The only time I’ve ever purchased a HOMC was because I got a really good deal on it. It is my 2nd best cartridge, a Van Den Hul MC Two Special. Maybe my best. The fact that it's a HOMC doesn't necessarily make it a bad cartridge. | |
| Qobuz Interesting approach Uber. I'm not familiar with BubbleUPnP so I'm probably missing something that it brings to the table. That seems like a lot of extra devices and software when you could just have the Qobuz app on your PC's screen and use t... | |
| Help me put together a $1000 (give or take) headphone rig -- new or used Consider the Bluesound Node 2i. It streams and includes a decent DAC. You can always upgrade to a better DAC later and continue to use the Bluesound for streaming. |
