I've had my Node 2i for about a year. Shortly after purchase I added a Cullen C7 power cable. With the PD upgrade, I wouldn't be able to use the Cullen.  I don't think I would be gaining much with the PS upgrade.https://www.cullencable.com/c7-powe...

OK, just to be clear (to me), does the PD Creative PS board improve the sound only if you are using the internal DAC? Or does the improvement also apply when using an external DAC? I have seen conflicting statements on this.  
Possible Cartridge Suspension Collapse?
I had a good experience with MS when one channel on my SL went out. I sent them the cartridge, they checked it out and sent me a new replacement.

Attacking Atmosphere, one of the most helpful guys on this forum, says it all. 
30 year old player, worth an upgrade?
A used Apollo-R, excellent sound on its own and can be used as a transport should you decide to move to an external DAC.
