Breaking news! Jays Audio is moving to Texas and takes interest in McIntosh
+1 @john1 you are 110% correct. NO phono # NO value of what he talks about. Seems he only wants $$$$$ gear to say "Hey look what I have!" BFD    
My wife weighed in…she wants piano white tower/bookshelf
@aj523 agree about the Fleetwood Deville speakers. Beautiful to look at but VERY limited low end. For the $$ you can do better IMO.

Help Deciding On New Speakers For Small Room, $10k budget
I believe someone already mentioned Franco Serblin. They have a new stand mounted I heard this year at Axpona called the Goldberg. Very even sounding and has that beautiful Italian look as well.  
Furutech 's Project V1 Power Cord.....question.
After hearing this cord I still have wonderful memories of it. Don't see many come up other than from overseas with wrong type of plug. What's a good "used" price for one?

Cartridge upgrade
@rfauto what dealer are you working with? It would be one that I would want to stay clear of.   
Anything SS sounds better than D'Agostino ?
I've heard Bricasti amps at dealers and Axpona....world class!  
Suggestions for a DAC/Streamer to replace BlueOS Node Streamer
Look into a used or demo Bricasti M3  
Magico speakers too clinical and fatiguing?
I've heard Magico's and have always found them a bit clinical and without emotion. The Mac gear is just too soft and round sounding and can't control those large Magico woofers, not a good match with Magico IMO. Look for an amp with current.   
Kirmuss 'In the Groove' Ultrasonic Record Restorer - Upscale Audio Edition
@terry9 I agree US cleaning is great it's just that the Kirmuss isn't worth the admission price. There are many other alternatives.

DO NOT BUY a Kirmuss RCM. Yes they clean ok but are a pain in the a$$ to use. There's like 21 steps for cleaning......just not worth the hassle IMO.  
FirstWatt SIT-3 or Pass Labs XA25 for Avalon Indras?
Haven't heard or even seen the SIT-3 but have listened to the XA25 vs a Bricasti M25 and no contest the Bricasti just sang. The XA25 sounded strained and sterile in comparison.

Based on how to use I predict it will sit in a draw after 30 days like the Destat I bought. Yes it will work but a lot of extra time/effort to use to listen to an LP. Just my thoughts.
