Looking for a great phono pre-amp in the $1000 or less range
Have you considered the Rega Aria mk3? It has both mc and mm options for 1600. When comparing different phono pre amps in the past, somehow I always went back to this one because to me it sounded the most natural, along with a good cartridge of co... 
SVS or REVEL Subwoofer
I don’t own Rel, but I’ve heard them in a set up running magnepan. The dealer was running 2 t5s and the bass was awesome. Not super low into 20 hz, but unless you plan on playing pipe organ or synthesizer music, I’m finding most times my own sub, ... 
System advice

new to streaming- help!
But also I second ghdprentice, get the laptop outta there, been that route, and you will have much better sound with a separate streamer/dac.

Some streamers have built in dacs which either can be connected with Ethernet or Wi-Fi. Also when I bought my Auralic, they recommend even a certain router for streaming, so you won’t lose on the high speed data.

Audio / Stereo Rack
I built mine out of threaded rod, super strut, and 1.5 inch butcher block. The racks are solid as a rock.   
Monster m 850 cable upgrades
Thx eurorack and ghdprentice, I see the difference in cables. For my 2channel for sure, but in the meantime I think audphile1 has a point with bluejeans and not going too crazy into a receiver especially if not heavily listening to surround discs ...

Monster m 850 cable upgrades
Like I said just the weight pulling on the connection from the monsters is crazy. So @soix going for the 5.1 multi channel analog output from my sacd player to the multi inputs on my receiver. I kinda hate wasting my time on this cause I love stre...
