looking for an integrated amp in the $1500 range
The Marantz PM8006 is a nice sounding piece in your budget. It  also had an exceptionally good sounding built in phono stage for your budget (from what i remember), which may make you sell the Rega Booga phono piece you've got...one less pestilent... 
Integrated Amp ideas for a very young audiophile
A 4 year old?? Get him something cute dude.... Bluetooth boombox from Santa - Price 48 USD    
Did my preamp short kill my Mark Levinson amps and Infinity Beta servo ?
@jerry_b2 , So.....who manufactured your preamp? After fiascos like these, all brand loyalties would be out the door, I'd think.  
Horns with good timbre and tonality?
W.r.t real instruments, it is harder to get to the tonal/timbral accuracy level of some TAD, Yamaha, Voxativ, older Schweikerts, Gershman (hit n miss), etc with alternate waveguide/compression driver offerings, ime/imo. Unless a guy spent a couple... 
Best Buy Says Bye-Bye to DVDs
Better get a hold of a high fidelity bluray player before they all get discontinued. Sony's Playstation 5 was the single biggest disruptor of the market for bluray player manufacturers. Bluray audio (when an artist chooses to also offer his album... 
Right way to connect a 2nd “extension” center channel speaker?
For example, Yamaha’s Musiccast ecosystem was designed for whole house applications like yours in mind. A wireless musiccast speaker system can bring the music to another room without having to tinker with zones, cables and passives. I use the fo... 
At what price is one considered an Audiophile.
few if any will agree on what a deeper soundstage, lower noise floor, longer note decay or any other Audiophile nuances should cost. This is why any price/performance ratio standard IMO is nearly irrelevan Such an unintelligent falsity/ the com... 
Class D amplifiers. What's the future look like?
@deep_333  Thanks for the pics of the Technics innards. Have you hear their newer model G700 Mk 2? No, i have not...not interested in that one. It has great reviews though. I specifically needed the SU-R1000's 300W into 4 ohms (without space h... 
At what price is one considered an Audiophile.
@jacobsdad2000 Sorry and I don’t mean anthing bad about anbody and at this site I have never noticed (and not saying there isn’t) any obvious females talking about audio gear. But I do suspect behind every audiophile that is married or lives with... 
At what price is one considered an Audiophile.
@deep_333    If your current system is your final audio destination kudos. What is offensive is claiming anyone that has or desires an audio system of better build and sound quality cares less about music and more about gear? That might get the a...

Class D amplifiers. What's the future look like?
This is how the internals of 1930 computers looked. Compare that to the internals of today's desktops/laptops/servers/super computers That's it...I just got meself a brilliant business idea. My Class D-iddly amp company will, hereby, be known... 
Magnepans and dogs
There is some tribal hearsay out there that magneplanars induce more limbic brain activity than regular speakers. It could also be fake news. I have 2 dogs and 2 cats. When they are in the room I turn the spl levels wayyy down and swap to simpler... 
Significant steps? (DAC)
@facten @tvrgeek "Sorry if you have one, but $140K for a DAC is not perfection, it is pure bragging rights.". I don’t have one , don’t seek out listening to one because it isn’t in my realm of spending on one piece of audio equipment, don’t pre... 
Class D amplifiers. What's the future look like?
GAN miracle vs Technics, it just ain’t adding up on what you’re getting for the price! Funny enough, even that ~10k honestly priced engineering extravaganza Technics gets hammered by a whole lot of simpler Class A designs and no Class D-iddly unde...
