Google Nest WiFi
@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.    
Google Nest WiFi
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 It has been replaced by the XP-17.

@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.

I saw the Moody Blues several times over the years. Took my son to see them at Caesars Tahoe when he was 12 years old. His first concert experience.  
To DAC or not to DAC ?
@jrbirdman333  In what way?  
Just a thought on first impressions, items for sale....and your thoughts.
On ebay you see a lot of estate stuff pulled out of a basement and listed as is. The seller doesn't care.
