Jazz for aficionados
I’ve been listening to Wes Montgomery this morning.  What a great guitar man!  
Woodstock 1969, or 1967?
I guess your days as a music reviewer were short lived. 😁  
My Analog Journey - Opinions Sought
While I still have two turntables (cheap) I got rid of 90% of my vinyl years ago. I do however still have a CDT that I use every once in a while to listen to the 2600ish CD’s I still have. I do have about 2200 albums ripped on a NAS that I listen ... 
Got Innuous, now a DAC
I still have the original Pontus ll and it’s still has a wonderful sound to it.  I’m looking forward to upgrading someday, but I’m not a a great hurry.  Although I have had an eye out for a DDC. 😃  
Class A\B or D for summer months (vs Class A)
I recently made a screened in porch into a family room and we installed a Mitsubishi heat pump where the compressor is still outside and the cassette with the blower and filter is in the room.  It’s kinda like a mini split, but separated into two ... 
Which inexpensive speaker cables...
Mogami or Monoprice or Blue Jeans have speaker cables in your price range. All the best.  
Pass INT-25, split decision and maybe option?
While I have almost no experience with PrimaLuna, they have at least 4 different, all tube integrated amplifiers you can check out.  With tube rolling, you could customize the sound to one that makes you happy. All the best.  
MissingCDs and records
Having moved to mostly streaming, I still miss reading the album covers and studying the pictures and that’s why I still have a CDT.  When I feel nostalgic or want to listen to something that’s not on any streaming service, I pull out the album an... 
Getting a Divorce and can now buy floor standing speakers
I am a new Sonus Farber convert.  So of course I am going to tell you to check out Sonus Farber.  I bought the Amati G5’s and really like their sound.  Nothing shouts at me and the bass is good even at low levels to the point that I am using the s... 
A cable too perfect?
Another vote for giving the cable more burn-in time before you change anything else. All the best.  
Merry go round
In the last fifty plus years I have changed everything in my system more times than I can count.  And as of right now, I’m close to my happy place. Improving my DAC is coming, but I am not in a huge rush to do so. I’m currently able to listen to m... 
got my PayPal 1099 /// what now?
@welcher summed it up very well.  
Does You Subwoofer Settings ??
Because no two engineers mix music the same way, there is no one setting for subwoofers, but you can get close.  That said,  since I changed from KEF Reference speakers to Sonus Farber Amati speakers, I am finding I’m not using the one SVS SB2000 ... 
speaker upgrade fever
I got rid of my KEF Reference 5’s because I thought they were bright and quite analytical and replaced them with Sonus Farber Amati G5’s.  While the price is above your price range, I would still say to check out the Sonus Farber Olympica Nova ll ...
