My speaker upgrade journey - and a few questions
…bargain/cheap/value oriented audiophile… @jcs01  Better speakers often use more expensive parts and costlier construction.  Even buying used would only drive the price down to a certain point.  Often, high-end components have a similar sonic ... 
What to do with a large collection
@rvpiano  Great thread, thanks. I originally planned to rip then store my CDs (because of copywrite infringement), but: I’m trying to declutter, ran out of room When I pass, hopefully in the far future, the CDs will go out into the world any... 
MoFi lawsuit
@dwette  A statement is not automatically false without backup, or is this logic over your head?    
MoFi lawsuit
@dwette after the MoFi debacle, I read it somewhere awhile ago possibly from MoFi’s rebuttal statement. I’m too lazy the dig into the process for your satisfaction. It’s enough for me that MoFi sold me a superior sonic product which is my main int... 
Phono Preamp suggestions between either Gold Note PH-10 or Whest TWO.2
@relayer101  I know the Gold Note has many positive reviews, don’t know about Weiss. Parasound JC3+ or PS Audio Stellar Phono are excellent buys near your price point. Plenty of very positive reviews.

Recommendation for speaker cable to use with Magico speakers
Budget?  Silversmith Fidelium got a lot of Agoners positive reviews awhile ago  
Speakers - Your "Safest" Choice
Seems like the OP is asking for the “safest” choice, although buying a speaker without a demo is usually considered a poor decision as speaker preferences are highly subjective. Also, at 125wpc it can’t be very inefficient. Maybe the Joseph Audio...

Employ a kid, split the profits?  
Relationship between Ethernet Switch and SQ
I’ve been deeply tracking audiophile switches for quite awhile, looking for lower cost alternatives to the Telegartner M12 switch which also requires special terminated cables.  I concluded: Audiophile switches must be at least to the level of ... 
What use to burn in power cords?
Hagerman Frybaby here or Audiodharma Cable Cooker here Some have reported that periodic cable cooking has sonic benefits.    
ZYX "House" Sound
I somewhat agree with @dover - usually these high quality cartridges are used in higher performing turntables - better tonearms and quieter turntables (plinth and platter).  But the OP shouldn’t panic, his current setup will work
