Great Qobuz streamer. Upgrade from Bluesound Node 2
+1 Innuous Zen MK3 or, if you can find one, a used Innuous Zenith MKII 
What’s the most badass $2k amp I can get?
I’m quite happy with my NAD M22v2.  A used one might be slightly more than 2K. 
Upgrading my blusound streamer
Take a look at the Innous Zen mk3. They have several models at various price points. I’m sure you can find one that meets your needs.  
Cat jumped on turntable
+1  Prudent to keep animals, children, and cleaning persons out of the listening room. While I wasn't looking, my three year old granddaughter grabbed my tone arm and dragged it across a record.  I never did find the stylus :-).  My cleaning cre...

Types of speakers to create nightclub style sound?

Qobuz Special Offer
I’ve been using Tidal for quite a while enjoying the military discount.  I tried Qobuz but didn’t want to pay the original fee because I found Tidal had a better selection of old school R&B and the music I like.  At this lower price, I’m going... 
General question about tube preamps and gain
I'm new to tubes.  I recently purchased a used Herron VTSP 3a ro2 pre amp, which has a High and Low gain option.  It's paired with a NAD M22 v2 power amp, which has High, Mid, and Low settings.  I futzed with the settings for several days and fina... 
Amps with meters ...
I have Mac MC2600 and Pioneer SPEC-4 power amps.  I like their  meters and rotary left/right gain controls.  I use them with pre amp volume controls to get much finer output control.

I need some turntable guidance
@Elizabeth, excellent advice.  I've used a Technics SL-1600MK2 since the early 80's.  I have 1200+ vinyl albums.  Earlier this year, I setup my first dedicated listening room and, while I still have the 1600MK2 in my rec room setup, I purchased ...

Audio Mirror Tubadour III tube DAC for $1500.  Check out the reviews.  I have the recently released Statement version.  I’m am very happy with it. 
My 1st Tube Equipment Experience
@noromance  That's good food for thought.  I have to increase the volume, but the vinyl sounds awesome. 
My 1st Tube Equipment Experience
A quick follow-up after a half-day of listening to music with the Tubadour DAC in my system.  I get the best SQ with the Herron pre-amp gain set to Hi and the NAD pwr amp gain set to Lo.  (With the Liberty, the Herron was set to Lo and the NAD to ...
