Value of mint condition first pressing of Sgt. Pepper?
Look up the information in the matrix/runout area on Discogs to see what version you have, using the "find your version" tool.  Once you've done that, search the marketplace to see what other people think they are worth.   
The Who (Deluxe)
I have listened to the new record a few times and really like it.  They're both in their mid 70's. I'm glad I'm not the same guy I was in my 20's and I'm OK with them maturing and not sticking to some formula to prove they're still "The Who". 
What are you streaming tonight?
I've been listening to the Miles Davis Quintet - The Legendary Prestige Quintet Sessions on Qobuz the last couple of mornings.

@vair68robert It took me three tries to get a decent pressing of the Analogue Productions vinyl.  The first two had some horrible surface noise, which apparently others have experienced also.  This one sounded great and is definitely reference mat...

Upgrading my beginner setup and not sure how to allocate funds. New cart, table or amp?
I haven't heard your integrated or speakers, but unless they are horrible, I would upgrade your turntable.  Most turntables come with a decent cartridge, so you can kill two birds with one stone.  Right at your price point, I'd take a hard look at...

Not streaming yet and considering Bluesound Node 2i? What you need to know.
I'm surprised to hear you describe the sound as "tipped up", especially if you're using the Orchid as the DAC instead of the Node 2i's built in DAC.  It still sounds like something is amiss. 
Not streaming yet and considering Bluesound Node 2i? What you need to know.
@wlutke BlueSound has a pretty decent user forum, you might try poking around there to see if you can find more information about how to set up your specific devices.  As mofi said, if you're using the Qobuz app as opposed to connecting to Qobuz t... 
Another Analog v. Digital Thread? Not Really
I recently did some comparison listening between my turntables, my CD player, and my streamer.  Vinyl won, but my CD player was not far behind, and while streaming came in last in terms of sound quality, it wasn't such a night and day difference t... 
Not streaming yet and considering Bluesound Node 2i? What you need to know.
I don't think you understand how the Node 2i works.  While it can connect over bluetooth, if you have it connected to your network via wifi or an ethernet connection and are using the BluOS interface, you're streaming over the internet, not Blueto...

Great story uber! TBH I was never a big Kiss fan until one of my friends talked me into going to see them when they came back with the original lineup and makeup. I became a fan that night. Amazing show!
