Bluesound Node130 LPS upgrade...
@bassbuyer  Excellent point about my max budget earlier... I would say $2.5k, and have seen a used  Aurender N150 for sale on the 'Gon from what looks to be from a reputable hifi store. I have also looked at Innuos too - it is definitely worth co... 
Bluesound Node130 LPS upgrade...

Favourite Guitarists
Bcuz they're not mentioned yet... Steve Morse Brian Setzer + 1 more for Alex Lifeson  
If there was only ONE album/cd/release you can listen to, over and over.............
Moving Pictures  
Beautiful Music That Reduce You To Tears

What is your favorite album cover?
Permanent Waves (original cover) 
Favorite Guitar Solo
+1 for Alex Lifeson's La Villa Strangiato, but I'll add Kid Gloves and Limelight.
