Getting back into venal with a $2,000 budget.
I picked up a Marantz tt15s1 on Marketplace for 700 bucks a few months ago. I’m no vinyl expert by any stretch but it sounds way better than the Project Carbon I had before. With the quality of the cartridge and tone arm even at full retail seems ... 
Tekton Double Impacts
I had DIs a few years ago and miss a lot of the things they did very well and they didn’t really do anything objectionable. Looking at maybe getting into some DIs again or even some Moabs in 2023.

Who says studio monitors are "cold and analytical"?
@kenjit you said: “Its just WRONG. Dont be afraid to say it. There is no such thing as analytical. A speaker needs to reproduce the input signal. Either its right or wrong. Dont give me this hogwash about it being analytical or accurate or pleas...

I had a Chorus 2 with Crites tweeter and crites crossover. It was really dynamic. Sounded pretty good with HEAVY use of EQ. Definitely an in your face type of sound.

Well there ya go. The Master has spoken!   
Add a Linear power supply or iFi SPDIF Purifier2?
Depends on what you are trying to do. The IFI spdif thingy makes a pretty big difference if you have a sh…y feed. For tv optical out makes a BIG difference. It was a difference with the Node 2 to the same dac but not that much.
