@hilde45 I missed who was saying what, so I’m sorry if I directed something at you that should have been to someone else. Lots of side tracks.

@audioguy85 , oh. I love British audio too, no disrespect. My headphones are Quad, and I love them although they were probably assembled elsewhere.  Support your home team!

@hilde45 no grumps here, I’m just trying to see if anyone knows more about the website. As for American made, I try to support American companies when I can. No agenda. Just a question and something I thought I’d share with the group

Buying used vs new speakers from a technology perspective

Power Conditioning on the Cheap
I use shunyata defenders throughout my house and the small Audioquest Niagara 1000 on one of my spare systems. All of them I’ve picked up used here on Audiogon and eBay. All work great and I saved a lot of money.

Bob Weir McIntosh, Neil Young McIntosh and Tannoy…..just from what I know  
Can a Bluesound Node 2i power supply really be upgraded?
@jjss49 I run mine thru a McIntosh D 150 dac. And yes it is nice! So nice I just bought a Nordost Valhalla digital interconnect to connect the node to the dac. I thought it’s now worthy of a good digital cable.   
Recommendations for automatic tonearm lift
I have a qUP on my VPI Scout II and it works flawlessly. For $29 it’s a bargain.   
Wanting to upgrade my streaming sound quality.
If I were you and with the budget you have I definitely would go with a Lumin. It’s my next step up from my node, which is modified with a linear power supply. My 2 cents. Seriously though, audition one if you can.   
Can a Bluesound Node 2i power supply really be upgraded?
@hilde45 Probably more with the power cords but close.   
Can a Bluesound Node 2i power supply really be upgraded?
@hilde45 Less than $200 all in. Easy to install. The power supply is available on Amazon. The power supply cord I got on eBay. The AC power cord I had made was a Cullen. As it’s broken in, everything I play off the node( streaming and files)  has ... 
Rate my system/advise
Look at a good McIntosh or audio research amp. This will make a huge difference. other than that looks like your on the right track. Love nordost cables too.
