I am about to embark on my next upgrade journey
I would definitely recommend auditioning the Borresen X-Series the X1 starts at $5,500 US and even the X2 is only $8,800 and the X3 is $11,000 and they punch way above their price range phenomenal sounding speakers.  
Quite a few Bricasti M21 DACs for sale cheap

Monitor audio platinum pl200 ii , revel f226be, or something else?
I own the monitor audio platinum 200 ll and I've also listened to the X3, in my opinion the monitor audio throws a more three-dimensional more enveloping airy and spacious sound stage but the X3 sounds phenomenal as well, if I didn't own the plati... 
Rockport Lyras
deep_333, I heard from a friend of mine that he gets a lot of the stuff for free on consignment to showcase it from dealers so when he says that he's paying for all of it I highly doubt he is and my friend confirm that, he told me that he strong ... 
Help me pick a Dac
Try the Wyred4sound 10th anniversary DAC It's about $4,500 US, one of the reviewers put it up against his VPI turntable with the $5,000 Japanese cartridge and he said that the 10th anniversary DAC sounded just as analog, on that review I bought it... 
Moving into an apartment with wood joist floors - worried about neighbors hearing
you don't need to change speakers all you have to do is get the Townshend podiums, they will stop all bass energy from going into the floor and coming back into your speakers and smearing the sound they're not cheap and they isolate down to three ...

Power cable Advice...
If you're going to change your cables whether it's interconnects or power cords or speaker wire you should get OCC single crystal wire which is far superior to anything OFC at any price, and you're in the right price range for single crystal wire,... 
vibration control - cd player
goose, I also agree with you I have the Townshend podiums underneath my monitor audio platinum 200 ll and the improvement was as if I had upgraded to more expensive electronics Best upgrade I've ever done gets rid of most of the room problems as ... 
Help me pick some new or used speaker cables
Switch all your cables to OCC single crystal copper or silver but the copper is half the price and the improvement will amaze you, also getting Townshend podiums to put under your speakers will get rid of any vibration which destroys your sound, t... 
Amp — Leave on or turn off
if it's a solid state amp it needs to be on all the time, I have a sim audio w8 and if I turn it off after 24 hours it needs to warm up for 3 days again before it sounds totally open again.  
Cable upgrades
audphile, I agree it would be pointless on your part cuz you don't know what you're talking about.
