@musicfan2349 +1. Great post! Reminds me of the motto of my favorite audio maker “ For The Love of Music” that’s what it’s all about. Thanks.   
ETHERNET CABLES

What is the forums opinion of SVS subs?
I have an SVS and a B&W. Love the SVS much cleaner than the B&W, deeper bass and great value for the money. Overall great sub! Good luck with your pick.  
Grounding Question
@atmasphere  can you elaborate on your last statement bout two pronged older equipment? I have an amp when you turn it on you get a ground loop hum hd it goes away when the preamp fully turns on.

Ultrasonic record cleaners
I have an Audiodeske system cleaner. Pricey yes, but I bought a demo. I thought it might make a difference and clean up my record collection nicely. However, I never thought it would produce the results that it does. Amazing improvement in sound, ...

Aurender
Aurender is not NAS friendly, so I’ll look elsewhere. If there was that option, I’d highly consider Aurender. I’ve been thru that with these two Aurender salesman and got nowhere. In my opinion, a node with an external power supply and NAS is a ha... 
Bluesound node + INNUOS PHOENIX USB? 
+1 @glennewdick reference upgrading the DAC, also you can upgrade the node with an outboard linear power supply. This will really elevate your streamer.   
Cables to settle brightness
Cardas  
Upgrade path question. Upgrade analog or turn to digital?
My opinion and the path I’ve taken is to enjoy both digital and analog. If your budget allows why not take advantage of having access to both worlds. Twice the fun! Good luck.   
Jay’s Audio CDT3-MK3 wins over Aurender W20SE
