What are you streaming tonight?

Well, that's not a change for the positive!  I like Qobuz better, but they still lag behind Tidal in terms of content so I keep both.

Integrated tube amp under $1000 / $2000
Used Audio Research VSI55's typically sell for around $1500.  A little over your friend's budget, but it would sound sublime with Klipsch.  It was a really nice match with my Heresy's.  I'm using Harbeth P3ESRs with it now. 
Using paypal for local pickup
I'd rather do friends and family than carry that much cash around to a strange place. 
Is the MoFI UltraDeck wit the MasterTracker cart the best TT solution @ $2,499?
I don't know if it's the "best" for that amount, but I have heard one and it sounded great and seemed to be really well made.
