  • Possibly, but for instance my 40 series has a single power connect and uses the crazy octopus cable, so totally different. I also did not see mention of your PSU wattage. Depending on how beefy the next card is, that might need an upgrade, too. You really don’t need two separate cables for that card, in terms of power draw, though.








  • Sounds like you are sticking to stereo speakers, so your output is less important, as all the extra fanciness is in support of surround sound stuff. Honestly, you need to make sure the receiver you choose will convert well to stereo from whatever video sources you are using; not all of them do.

    I would suggest that you scope out Schiit Audio. Not necessarily to buy, although their equipment is awesome, but it is quite educational, as they have a more stripped down, step-wize approach to features. It might give you some ideas you hadn’t considered before.

    It is unfortunately not as easy to make a good 2 chennel stereo that plays well with modern video as it should be. Partially due to physical separation, but partially due to compatibility, I just got a decent sound bar/ sub-woofer combo to hook up to my TV and kept my stereo for music and such.

    Good luck and happy listening!
