Looking for suggestions on best small footprint speaker under $4K
Take a look at Spendor.  Lots of models, new/old with small footprint.  I've owned the A5R, A6R, and S6e.  All wonderful!

MQA is Legit!
I wonder how many MQA naysayers have a Tidal subscription? I wonder how many people subscribe to Tidal only for MQA?One of the great things about about Tidal, is that you have the choice to listen to every MQA album as 16/44.1 too. 
Looking for a mid-priced TT to install my 2M Black Cart
@sircheechI started with a Pro-Ject Debut Esprit & 2M Black, and it was a good setup.I now use the 2M Black with a Technics SL1210GR, and I'm in heaven.  There had been 5 other turntables (VPI x 3, Music Hall x 2) in between, and they were all...

Integrated amp question.....around $1000..could use some help!
Take a look at Cambridge Audio CXA80. Pretty nice DAC built in, and it’s much more detailed/ than warm sounding. Enough power for your speakers/space too.I had one when I was living in an apartment and it worked wonderfully.

Speaker Suggestions
I use a pair of Silver 300s for my 2-channel setup.  Bass goes pretty deep, clear and fast.  I have no need for a sub, but that's just my taste.The midrange is crystal clear, non-fatiguing.  I love them!Try calling Parts Connexion.  That's where I... 
Budget Music Streamer
@ghulamrAuralic Aries or Aries Mini should work great.  Roon, Spotify, and AirPlay all work great.  Multiple digital out choices too, so it'll be nice to have those options when you upgrade your DAC.Ethernet or Wifi, and both work wonderfully, wit...

Looking for cartridge for VPI traveler
I've owned the Traveler and have used the 2M Red, Blue, Bronze, and Black with it.  Can't go wrong with any of those, but try for the Bronze or Black if your budget allows. 
If you love the Ortofon 2M Black, you'll really love...... (help me upgrade)
@dhcod I also love my 2M Black, but I usually use my Clearaudio Maestro V2.  It's very similar sounding to the Black, but maybe a bit warmer (romantic?) sounding.  I prefer the 2M Black with rock music, but the Clearaudio with every other genre.Ca... 
Hegel Rost - a good buy at 2K?
@stuffjonesI have the same question for any owners out there. I’ve had the H160 & H190 and both were fantastic. Probably should have kept one of them. The DAC section in the H190 was a smidge better, but they were both mostly similar in my sys...
