No, just the extender. At that time I had an AT&T modem.

@jerrybj Before I got the Nest, I used an extender wired to the streamer. It work  well.

@jbs So you think I could integrate an older nest point into my present set up? I tried researching this online, couldn’t find much help.

Yes, it is my understanding the older version points had ethernet connections. BTW my house is built on a concrete slab so I can't run a cable under the house. Can't fish a wire either, too much trouble and it's an exterior wall full of insulation... 
Can a Bluesound Node 2i power supply really be upgraded?
@ianrmack  Anything to report regarding the T. Pardo LPS?  
FM Tuners
+1 on the Accuphase T101, I own two of them (and I also stream). For less $ look at Yamaha, Pioneer and Kenwood.            
Bluesound Node (2021) PS upgrade to Teddy Pardo; is it worth it?
I also have the Cullen C7 cable. It will not be compatible with the Pardo PS. I too, am undecided.

@lowrider57 Yes, I saw that. $435 into a $600 streamer. Do you think it is cost effective, bang for the buck, etc.

@lowrider57 I wonder. I have the new Node. The TP PS is $435.     
Best Phono You've Heard Under $2200
Pass Labs XP-15 is excellent and should be within your budget. It has been replaced by the XP-17.    
Cartridge alignment, WallyTractor, SmartTractor, oscilloscope and Analogmaigk.
@fsonicsmith  I agree with you. I tried the Mint because of the many recommendations. I also found it difficult to use, the mirrored finish seemed dull and grids were distorted. I sold it and am very happy with the Feickert protractor.            
Hearing loss
No on headphones, pumping music directly into your ears, not a good idea. I see people with ear buds turned up high so they can hear over the street noise.

@ozzy62  Let us know what you think of the Pontus.

Good question. Maybe add Audio Mirror Tubadour III to your list. I have not heard it, but it gets rave reviews.
