| I've been selling heavier gear for lighter gear Use a floor dolly. That’s what I’ve done with my 114lb McIntosh amp. Works great. | |
| Break In Failed You don’t have to be neurotic about it, just put them in your system, fire them up, and listen. Before you know it you’ll be rewarded with great sound as they progressively get better and better. Enjoy the hobby! | |
| Liquid Stylus Cleaners I use Last or stylast, with no problems. If your concerned about liquid use onzow the sticky pad. I had no problems with either. | |
| Cartridges You’ll probably get more out of the high end vinyl, with a better cartridge. | |
| Ethernet cables I would have never thought that they’d make a difference but yes they do! I use Wireworld starlight 8 s at the connection to my node and from my NAS to the network connection and love them. Highly recommended. | |

| Streamer Recommendation. +1 @hilde45 , that’s why I’d stick to a bluos node….modify it and your network from there with a linear power supply and fiber at the nodes connection. I also agree with @blisshifi on a orbit mesh system. Best you can get right now. Good luck. | |
| Best sounding CD player +1 @soix separate dac and transport, will get you well into the future. | |
| Do You Tell Others How Much You Have Invested in Your System? If they ask….and about cables, I might tell them what one costs, otherwise most people can’t wrap their heads round what these systems costs. Neither can I sometimes😀 | |
| New Dennis Had amps Love it! Makes me want to put on some Robin Trower! | |
| Am I Getting Soft Here? As once was said in song. “Love the one your with” Enjoy, that’s what it’s all about! |
