Does the Cambridge CXN100 sound the same as the MXN10
@peter_s  I have always experienced muffled sound quality from the WIM system. I’ve used a couple different models. I’m wondering if I’m doing something wrong! I have heard that when using the room correction and perhaps Bluetooth.  
Looking for more advice on purchasing a new turntable.
I would think about upgrading your loudspeakers. Perhaps 3.7s so you can get the good tweeter.

@lanx0003 , Thanx, I  think a Fosi V3 would work well with the LS-50s I have in the garage. Or maybe a pair of V3 monos. But alas, I run an older Jolida tube integrated and I just upgraded the tubes. I also run a tuner and a CD player and would n... 
Upgrading my integrated amplifier for my Magnepan 1.7’s
Musical Fidelity M5si or M6si pairs well with the 1.7s.

I have the CXN100 but, thinking about another streamer for the garage system. I put a Cardas Iridium cable on the CXN100 and I think that took it where I wanted it. Very happy with it overall.

I'm a new and happy Qobuz user. It took a couple of weeks to get the cabling right on my streamer but it's a very good source. I'm listening to Hans Zimmer-Blade Runner right now and it's blowing me out of the room with the volume just at a very l... 
Upgrading/changing Speakers with late 70's McIntosh System?
Take this for what it's worth. If you have the room, some full sized Tektons would really open your eyes. You will get the frequency extremes and power of a large speaker. You would have enough power to play loud if you wanted to. Go for the tweet... 
Is There A Better Solution?
I didn’t like the sound of the M33 with Magenpan 1.7s. How about a Musical Fidelity M6.  
Budget integrated amp?
MF M2si.  
Right speaker intermittent
Volume knobs needs to be cleaned and lubed or you have a bad interconnect or speaker wire is shorted.  
You're not a true audiophile unless...
I don't know what defines an audiophile, but I'm pretty sure I am one.  
Tubes
I've had good luck across the board with Gold Lyon preamp tubes. Also with Gold Lyon KT-88s.  
The Great DAC Mystery
It's all in the D to A converter/amp. They are all different in implementation.  
Streaming, Getting the Signal, Then What?
Are you using coax cable from your PS Audio AirLens to your DAC?  
All in One amp up to $7k
Just get a regular integrated and and separate streamer. The amp will always be good but streamers are going to constantly change as new services become available.
