Interesting video but not surprising at all. In fact the ancient Greeks are the ones who came up with the golden ratio rule for properly sizing a music room for best sound and it still applies today. Also they have large producers of vinyl reissue... 
Table,cartridge,phono...where to put most of my money?
Jason is correct, PLX 1000, not DX.   
Table,cartridge,phono...where to put most of my money?
There are so many options for a great sounding vinyl setup under $5k. By example my secondary vinyl setup consists of a Pioneer DX1000 TT at about $800, Sumiko Starling $2k MC cart and $500 Puffin phono preamp. It can sound pretty close to my prim... 
Have we lost civility and respect on Audio forums?
Personally, this forum has been way more considerate this year than in the past.  
Rediscovery
Streaming rules in my system but CDs and vinyl still have a place in it. And playing CDs requires very little effort in my case. As for for the vinyl medium, reading some of the CDs inserts while listening to them can be a rewarding thing.

"Diminishing Returns"
Always refreshing to read a discussion that will save you money. Thanks :)  
DACed and Confused here...
The new gustard a26 dac would be everything you need for your budget. $1,499. That will be hard to beat.  
Do people tire of audio forums?
This is the site that talked me into streaming, me, a stubborn "analogue rules" old man. I will always be indebted to it regardless of all its shortcomings.   
She loves me she loves me not!
+1 @ naked. They are a beautiful set.    
Tidal or Qobuz
Started with Tidal, now with Qobuz and also Amazon music for titles I can't find on Qobuz. As a plus, Amazon is amazingly good sounding even via Bluetooth.  
Any other Pipe And Slippers Audiophiles out there?
Heavy wool socks, sweatshirt and IPA here.
