Sansui 4000
I suspect any MM cartridge would work just fine.   Receivers are designed to be pretty general and not fussy.   Any speaker whose power requirements are about half to a third of what the power rating of the receiver should work okay.   Don't let t... 
Review: Fosi Audio stereo rca interconnect
One can't go wrong with that!   Nice! 
MC suggestions
Well, I have used Grado cartridges for a long time now.  I have a Grado arm, so my comments may not apply since that combination is pretty hard to beat.   I have a second arm on my TT and I have had numerous cartridges in it - Shure's, Denon's, AT... 
i bought a dodcool dac from china?
I say just trust your ears.   In general, any DAC is better than no DAC since without a DAC, you have no digital music!   Whether you want to listen to it long term is a question, however. 
Orthos Spectrum AR-2000 Power Requirements
When you get it, check the line voltage requirements in the manual.   It might specify 115VAC rather than 100VAC.   If so, you can plug it directly into USA power.   If not, you should get a step up autotransformer.  Send me a private note and I c... 
I need some USB educat’in
Well, as you found out, it isn't in the specs, it's a phone call to the manufacturer or, at least, the dealer.    I have a BS Node 2 and a Vault 2.  I haven't tried it but the Vault 2 might handle a larger drive.   The big drive is on my PC and fu... 
Why Power Cables Affect Sound
@Geoffkait - Actually, no.  Don't forget, you have markups involved as well.   Distribution, reps, dealers, freight, warranty, UL codes, all that adds a percentage.  That 50 dollar cable will add an easy 250 to 300 bucks to the retail price before... 
Why Power Cables Affect Sound
Why?  Because you have to sell your product.   First a buyer has to believe your product is worth at least what you are asking.  Second, the more you add cost, the more the retail climbs, making it harder to sell and harder for the buyer to justif... 
DAC Upgrade
This is a bit out of your price range, but it would be hard to beat this one with the Femto clock option:     https://www.wyred4sound.com/products/digital-converters/dac-2v2-series   I have one and it is exceptional and beats all the other DAC's I... 
Problems with Bluesound Vault and PC app finding Node2 that are wireless
I agree, I would not have purchased the system either.   The Bryston or Wyred4Sound are much better systems. although a lot more money.   The fact is, I had to buy a system for the cabin and I went with Bryston rather than another Vault 2.  I'd se... 
Problems with Bluesound Vault and PC app finding Node2 that are wireless
Update - after living with the recent Bluesound and Roon updates, the entire system appears to be far more stable than before.   Of course, now that I posted this, it's a given the entire system will collapse...... 
Micro Seiki RX-1500 Gasket
The German group got back to me and mentioned there is a huge interest in replacement gaskets but the tooling cost is so high, that they cannot proceed with having any made.   However, I did find a potential alternate product.  I found a window ga... 
Problems with Bluesound Vault and PC app finding Node2 that are wireless
I upgraded from Ethernet and I was able to get the system up and running on the third reboot.   At least I didn't have to reboot my PC this time.   I believe the catch here is starting Roon on the PC after the reboot and the Node and Vault has log... 
Why Power Cables Affect Sound
@doitwithlife - Rather than explain why, can you explain what the differences are?  That is, voltage waveform differences, current waveform differences, mA, mV, etc.    
Problems with Bluesound Vault and PC app finding Node2 that are wireless
the players should be ungrouped before updateActually, the update should be smart enough to ungroup the players, update them, then regroup what it found originally.   To me, this seems like an obvious common sense thing to do. As for my system, ...
