Thinking of taking the plunge.
@reubent  .. +2 Spot on. Great place to start. Unless you know your gonna love streaming (you are by the way) then cheap and quick intro and your hooked. Then, spend some months reading (while listening to ANYTHING &EVERYTHING) and a little e... 
Bluesound Node or Audiolab 6000N
The 6000N has an excellent DAC, better than the Node 2 or 2i. I hear the Node software is better. The 6000N uses DTS Play-fi as an interface for all services but does not do gapless. But, if using Spotify, the 6000N by-passes the DTS Play-fi and u... 
A** Kicking, Rock and Roll!
Hey man, what are you doing. What's the first rule about fight club !  
Neil Young calls out Tidal
Neil is within his rights to cancel a contract. Period. That's not censorship, its a choice. He's just notifying anyone who will listen that he does not want to be associated with someone that he feels is misinforming the general public (for profi... 
Bought powerful/expensive Amp+Speakers but plan to use an old preamp , am I crazy?
I’d go so far as to say, hell, your gonna love it. You already "love" the phono stage and the unit it self is pretty decent. With the upgrades that you will be using, your gonna be happy. Maybe even VERY happy. I hope so. And this leads into the u... 
Totally overwhelmed (speakers under $5k)
I'd buy a decent/good Streamer for +/-1000 and the rest of your budget on speakers ($4000 speakers will differently be an upgrade). You "will" notice the difference. Your system is pretty decent as is. Using a MacBook to stream with is holding wha... 
Bigger and Better: Integrated Amplifiers
@ghasley BRILLIANT.... 🤣   (Exactly what I was thinking, just with less,,,,, PIZZAZ)    
Share albums where EVERY SINGLE song is good
OMG, how could I forget this one. And a double album at that. Saw his goodbye tour in 2019, played the whole album and EVERY song was a awesome. Elton John - Goodbye Yellow Brick Road

Parasound Hint6 has to be looked at.  
Guess How Big My Speakers Are
Are they 1cubic foot bookshelves? Say, Squires hrs-1..... Or something like that? 😁  
Whats on your turntable tonight?
@reubent  Yes, I've switched to MC on my phono input. My pre-amp (parasound new classic 200, basically new) has MC phono input. Maybe a separate phono pre is in order? Don't have a ton of money left over after the cartridge purchase though.

@big_greg Loving that album. Really getting into Eno these days. Passed on his "ambient 4 - on land" album this weekend at a used record shop simply cuz I didn’t know it. Went home, streamed. WOW, gotta call that shop up and try put it on hold ... 
Whats on your turntable tonight?
@reubent  The new Rega Ania MC cartridge is nice. My fist MC. Softer sounding (not as loud at same volume setting as my MM) but more focused I'd say. Not a huge difference to my ADC QLM 32 mk2 MM cartridge though (maybe that my 57 year old ears a...

I see your Pete Townshend and raise you.... Brian Eno - Another Green World (on my Sony PS-X50 with brand new to night Rega Ania MC cartridge... Woot Woot)
