Do I need a preamp/processor?
I didn't want to get too complicated, so I bought an Oppo, which has greatly improved movie and TV sound in a two channel system 
Are tuners still popular
I’ve been helping a friend run a small, low powered station here in town. We hosted dance parties to raise the money we needed to get started.. I know of at least 5 people who have purchased tuners to listen. So yeah, there’s still life in radio, ... 
Is using streaming services worthy of an audiophile?
I just recently purchased an Oppo bdp105 to use as a disc player for my CDs. One of its features is that it can run Tidal, so I decided to check it out and purchased a subscription... It sounds amazing. On the Oppo, the sample rate of whatever you... 
Support table or shelf for turntable
Let’s stay focused here: no one said a wall shelf would be the end to all vibration issues. I certainly didn’t say that. My recommendation of a wall shelf had to do with having less stuff between the speakers, helping to improve sound, which is a ...

Buzzing just won't quit: Can someone please help?
Will we ever hear back from the OP? 
Cable Survey
Notice they never said cables didn't make a difference. They were mostly commenting on stupid high prices. Two separate issues.  
Who thinks $5K speaker cable really better than generic 14AWG cable?
@hifiman5 spot on! So many naysayers go on and on about price, or that something is a rip off, or that marketing claims are hyperbole.. as if any of that speaks to the efficacy of the cables and their effect on a system. Tune out all that noise an... 
Why don't amplifier Companies use high end fuses?
All these electrical engineering masters with hardly any posts coming out of the woodwork to school us on how we’re wasting our money. What the dickens? 
Amp recommendation and setup advice please
Check out Peachtree audio. They make some very solid integrated amps that have a built in DAC as well, though I can't remember if they have a built in phono too.. but they look great and apparently sound lovely. They utilize class D amps.. 
Amp recommendation and setup advice please
If you're sticking with those speakers, I'd recommend a class D amplifier. There are loads of brands to choose from. I have a pair of class D monoblocks that I purchased here for $600. They put out 500 w into 4 Ohms, which is the stated impedance ... 
Digital Music sounds too bright?
