Bulk power cables suggestions
+1 VHaudio Chris is a good guy and has fair prices for his products plus a wide selection. I am not a DIYer but had him built a couple of Furutech custom cables for me at very reasonable prices. Great service and the cables sound excellent. 
Help me understand better solutions for ethernet
mcslipp I would think living in a rural area on top of a mountain that you likely face fewer extraneous noise issues than a lot of us.  I noticed, in a noise rich urban environment, a very slight improvement moving to a better shielded, though non... 
Alternatives to subscribing to Tidal via Apple?
I also prefer Qobuz and at $14.99 a month it's a steal. I had no idea Apple was doing that it's totally shameless.

@david_ten I googled Scott and read some older threads about his gear looks like great stuff. Nothing recent though or a website I could find any details of the build? Purely prurient interest. ;)

@testpilot  I like the copper/ebony idea that does look great!  @david_ten I love the 2a3 tube who's building your amps?

@chandybe do you have two, or more,  systems? I see Bryston and Mark Levinson gear in addition to the Mac gear you mentioned. 
Remarkably better sound possible with just 1 system component change?
Hey I say you have a system you obviously love why tinker? You could spend $10K on something it might improve things it might make things worse. It's tough to know and tough to audition these days. Save your money and enjoy your music! 
New to analog
+1 on buying from a local dealer, shipping turntables is difficult and fraught with danger. A good dealer will set the table up for you and help you troubleshoot any issues that arise. Also a dealer can offer you an upgrade path most likely if you... 
Amplifier tips
I agree with @chayro  get the speakers and hook them up to your Mira. It should drive them reasonably well. Listen decide if you like the sound you're getting and go from there. 
Can I leave speaker jumpers in?
Just out of curiosity what amps are you using? And which model AN speakers?  
TIDAL on SALE!
That's pretty funny I just fired Tidal a few weeks ago to go exclusively with Qobuz. Maybe I will sign back up for $5 a month its a crazy deal and for $10 it's still excellent.
