Want to try separates, what to expect.

We don't know what he expected but yeah, it's not bad, might complicate matter, though. But it's a serious decision, better look at it from every angle.

Again thanks for your comments. As far as other equipment goes I use an OPPO 105 for disks into a Wyred 4 Sound 2v2SE DAC for two channel music> I also stream a lot of music from Tidal. No vinyl at this time. I use a mix of Signal Cable and Audio Art cables with one or two Pangia power cables. My speakers are Tyler Acoustic Woodmere II. I am using two Rythmik F12G subs as well My room is very long At 14' wide by 38' long by 7' high.  1 x 1 staple up acoustic ceiling tile and carpet on concrete floors. I also have some pasture built (home made) bass traps of 3 lb density mineral wool 5" thick covered with curtain fabric in all corners floor to ceiling with a couple at first and second reflection points on both side walls. I also have Jim Smiths book, hope this helps, Allen

I briefly thought about doing the same  until I realized that the  "massive" improvements that some claim are actually subtle at best. Not to say that improvements are impossible, just unlikely after a lot of $.
