Jay’s Audio CD2-Mk3 or PS Audio PST?
I’m curious to know how the project plays less than perfect cds. My Cambridge has not skipped once on any cd I have played. Pretty amazing actually.

Ahhhhhh. I’m jealous. Want one bad!!   
Other factors affecting sound
+1 MC. Dedicated outlets is often a very cost effective improvement. Obviously depending on your routing situation. It could get into the thousands if it’s a really hard run. Could be as low as a couple hundred bucks or do it yourself if you know ... 
Playing CDs sounds better than Qobuz — dammit
With fast music and music with a lot of cymbals my cd transport into the same DAC easily trumps the node 2 either streamed of played off of ss drive through the node. Better flow and more natural sounding.  Also music that has large dynamic shifts... 
Suggestions for an integrated upgrade please
With the lower efficiency of those speakers I feel that while tubes may sound good they will not give you that bass articulation that a good high current ss would provide. Of the ones I have heard an Octave may do it. I heard a V110se on some Dyna...

Please recommend speakers <$800 for newbie
Older paradigm S2 are nice for that price if you like detail.

pro-ject cd box rs2 vs jays audio cd2 mk3
Man I really want to hear the Pro-ject!    how does it do with scratched up discs? My new low brow Cambridge will play cds that have issues on most every other player over the years and sounds much better than my streaming system. If it’s finicky... 
integrated amp on a budget
An option I think may be better than most anything is a Lyngdorf integrated with Room Correction. With that kind of music when things get fast and hectic it brings the everything in to such better focus. Bass will be sooo much tighter and slamming...
