Wife opened door to build my best ever system...ideas for what it should be?
Cool... a kettlebell speaker system! 
Lemons are an actual thing in high-end audio
A: all manufacturers of things have duds. Call them what you will.B: poor synergy or dislike of the color of the sound, does not make something a lemon overall... just means you did not prefer it. Had you compared apples to apples and sampled two ... 
Are my standards too high?
We have yet to see a kenjit speaker system. Why is that? 
Power conditioner or outlet?
Most of the higher level Furman units have separate outlets for different uses. Seems to work well. I have the 15i as well, and everything goes into it. Lighting is a very real deal here in CO and surge protection is a must. I simply don’t trust d... 
Whats on your turntable tonight?

Upgrading to a Hegel H590
I have an H390, great integrated.  
Beatles best album and concert dvd?

Main Audiogon site barely works?
Yep... Agon main site is not accessible... at least on Mac platform I get a "too many redirects" on all devices. I think those of us with sales ads should get a free 30 day relist... 
According to the RIAA, It doesn't look good for physical media
Everyone download I’ve received has either been .wav or .flac never MP3. No doubt you have to be discerning with new vinyl.... the majority of mine have been excellent overall.  
Apparently new artist don't even know what a melody is and drum machines suck
Does anybody remember laughter? 
According to the RIAA, It doesn't look good for physical media
One thing with new vinyl is usually there is also a hi-rez digital download included. Pretty much all I “buy” these days is vinyl. Old and new. I use my NAS, Spotify, Pandora, and Amazon Music for various other reasons. I rarely listen to anything...
