| What did your system look like 30 years ago? Nakamichi 530 receiver, B&O 2402 turntable, Magnepan SMGs (loved the sound, hated the tiny sweetspot) and a higher end Yamaha cassette deck with a "sendust" head, and of course, my speaker cables were those heavy, 8 gauge monster cables.A good... | |

| Point of higher priced streamer? When you use a Node 2i, it does the streaming.You have a Bluesound app for managing your music and what you play over wifi, but you aren't streaming from your handheld device, so you don't degrade the sound with Bluetooth or Airplay. My Node 2i is... | |
