Upgrade path question. Upgrade analog or turn to digital?
Thank you all for the advice. I am going to send to service my Ikeda 9TT early next year and while I am waiting I am going to try a Bluesound Node 130 just to get my feet wet. If it catches me, then I am selling my analog rig. I like LPs, but not ... 
Upgrade path question. Upgrade analog or turn to digital?
Why are you against upgrading the phono, the amp and the platform altogether? The tt upgrades are coming quite inexpensive so that makes sense.   
Power cord choice?
I bought speaker cables and IC from Triode Wire Labs and I am going to buy PCs from them, just need to save some... Ask the owner, he is a trustworthy real life down to earth expert. But I guess there are a few more. I would advice you to "buy the... 
Phono Preamp suggestions between either Gold Note PH-10 or Whest TWO.2
I don`t know the other one, but I have the PH-10 and I am satisfied. If I would upgrade in the future I would ask first the manufacturer. Some says it`s silly, coz everybody in the industry using the RIAA curve, but I could find many Decca/London ... 
New Speakers $10K -$20K
If I would have 20K for speakers I wouldn`t think twice. Cube Audio Nenuphar or Mini Nenuphar with their Sub. I think you could make a deal. I have a pair of Nenuphar Minis and couldn`t be happier. If I would have larger space and a bit more money... 
The Hungarian lands tomorrow.
Ohhh, can`t wait to hear about how does it sound. Try it with some Gonda Janos jazz! He was one of the best jazz musician in Hungary, inspired generations.  
Need some advise please on a 30 year old system
You said, you don`t have time/money/knowledge to restore the system. If you think money, it`s still better to restore and sell then just sell it is. It`s going to be a good chance to someone to cash out, once everything properly set. I would talk ... 
What is the actual percentage of people exclusively listening to vinyl vs digital?
I listen to vinyl exclusively. I don`t have the will and the money to buy any DAC or CD player what would be comperable to my TT and cartridge (Ikeda 9TT). I rather choose one format than dealing with the additional problems (cables, space, rack e... 
QRD diffusor as sound sidewall? Size?
The kitchen is next to the speakers. I have a dividing wall already set on the left side which separates the living room and the system from the kitchen. At the right side its about 2m empty space to the door and an LP shelf in the corner. I need ... 
Damping between shelves and sandbox
@onhwy61 The thicker board is a bit wider than the sandbox, so I need to lift it a bit. It`s a really nice maple board, and I am satisfied with the sandbox, trying to keep the foundations. @bdp24 ASC`s solution looks good, I am going to contact th...

Best IC and SC used under 1000 dollars for my system?
I would really love to get many suggestion. Especially with a link to buy. I forgot to mention it must be copper as Cube Audio suggested.Triode Wire Labs would be perfect, I would like to bi-wire if there is an option, but it`s above my budget. 
Vintage Western Electric cables from Naturaltonecables?
They offered a 60 days pay back guarantee. I don`t care about the look but how it sounds. My budget is around 600 dollars, what limits my options. 
Speaker for my system around 10K$, used.
Thank you all for the help! I got an offer for buying a Voxativ Ampeggio (AC-4X) with matching cables and amplifier. According to my taste and wallet its gonna be a perfect match if I am able to realise some sales before the owner is selling it to...
