Receiver is a good way to go for convenience, price, features and in some cases, believe it or not, sound quality. One of the best sounding receivers in the world is the Arcam AVR-300 ($2000)and new AVR-350 ($2500). The 300 has been out for a while, can be had used for lot less. They have real power supplies and great high end design engineering. Every review and forum comment I have ever read ranked them very high in audio quality,even in direct comparison to high end seperates. The internal DACs, preamp components, and power devices are all excellent high end parts. It is worth a listen before you plunge into the insane world $eperate$. I am trying to decide to go seperate or go back to receiver. After having a nice integrated tube preamp and finding the limits of its performance I am learning that the music itself is so much more important to me, rather spend money on music than audio gear.
