BEST FEMALE VOCAL EVER
Since you requested just one, I’ll have to go with Nancy Wilson.  Of course there are many others I like. 
Digital streaming options for my system are confusing
Bluesound Node 2 or 2i is an excellent choice.  Wireless connection with simple setup provided in the BluOS app.  Use your phone or tablet for control.  Link for Tidal subscription is in the BluOS app.  You also get for free, Radio Paradise and hu... 
Streamer Advice: Bluesound Node 2 vs Aries Mini vs Oppo
Wi Fi setup is integrated in the BluOS app.  Node2/i requires only a Wi Fi connection.  Super easy to get it up and running.  I have zero complaints with the BluOS app.  No experience with Roon nor any desire to pursue at this point in time.  My W... 
Bluesound Vault 2i vs. Meridian Media Core 200 for first music server
asahitoro, I can’t say how much better the 2i would be over your 2.  The cost to find out isn’t exorbitant especially if you sell the 2.What I can tell you is the 2i sounds really good in my big system.  It is musically satisfying and fun to liste... 
Stereophile Magazine question.
Worst subscription service ever.  I move twice per year for climatic preference.  This summer I never received August, September, or October.  Call them up and they always have the address wrong, cannot provide replacement issues ????Then cause th... 
Streamer Advice: Bluesound Node 2 vs Aries Mini vs Oppo
I’m using the internal dac which is the impressive part.  The 2i is plugged into a Shunyata Hydra.  Cabling to the preamp is Morrow MA3.  I am just now past the 100 hour mark.  My systems are on my page.

Maritime51, l have the Vault 2 at my mountain home and now have the new Node 2i at my winter home.  I have not compared them directly in the same system.  There is rather large price disparity between the two systems.  I find the Vault performs ve... 
Looking for a low heat tube amp
Music Direct sells the Jolida FX10, el84 output tubes and 12w per channel for 699.00.  That’s about the least amount of heat you’ll get with enough power for your speakers.  Remote too as an added bonus.

Bluesound Node 2i is absolutely stunning.   
Do people really just not get it that their items are not selling...
I sold all six items in one weekend.  I priced them all at what I thought was an attractive price.  Got a few unreasonable low offers but sold four items at asking price.  Now my dentist can make another boat payment. 
Shipping calculator on Audiogon?
Well, I learned a couple of things.  1 The Agon shipping calculator is not only impossible to find but pretty much worthless as well.  2  I found there is a FedEx shipping facility less than a mile from my house so that’s real convenient.   
Onzow Stylus Tip Cleaner
I use it.  Same cartridge as you.  No problems.  In use for a couple of years.  Gotta be careful though as you must lift the tone arm high enough to clear the container, set down and lift gently making sure not to snag the cantilever returning the... 
My first Tube Amplifier
Cary SLI50.  I still have it.  Purchased brand new in 1996.  It’s in my secondary system.  My favorite room when I get cold, shut the door with some good tunes and let the room heat up.   
Starting a second system
The Leben CS300XS would be my first choice.  Some small Proacs would be a good speaker match.At less money, the Quad VA One offers the same power output and el84 tubes.AZ Hi Fi in Phoenix carries Leben.  Excellent dealer in my experience. 
New Bluesound's Node 2i
You might just be surprised by the built in dac.  Update will be coming.  Approaching 80 hours on the 2i.
