Have you found your "End-Game" speakers yet? I have. And it feels so good!!!
I have the "end game" that I can afford, Dynaudio Confidence C1 Platinum. I abosultely love them. But if money were no object, I would definitely get into a pair of Børresen 01 Silver Supreme Edition. The most amazing sounding speaker I have ever ... 
Buying Used Equipment on the Internet
Buy the seller, not the equipment. Meaning if you don’t have trust in the seller, don’t do the transaction.   
Can you give me your speaker suggestions?
Definitely check out speakers from Dynaudio. Their tweeters are amazing and even their stand mounts dig down deep. I owned Heresy II’s for many years before moving to Dynaudio and never looked back. I would suggest listening to the Special 40, Con... 
Small, Effective Subwoofers?
JL Audio E110  
Investigating if ultrasound is harming LPs
Scales are LEAST accurate at the extreme ends of their range. In this case 5g and 0grams. You are better off using a piece of vinyl coming in about 2,5grams. Also unless you are using a Mettler scientific laboratory scale in a temperature controll... 
Integrated amp recommendation
Not much to suggest beyond what has been mentioned here already. I would just reiterate to pick something up on the pre-owned market as there is a ton of savings/value to be had.

Weak Link in chain as I upgrade from mid-fi?
Just my thoughts. first of all, you have done a good job building what you have. Second, I am so glad to see you did not mention cabling as I don’t think they really make a bit of difference at this level. I would recommend a stand alone DAC. I wo...

Patricia Barber - Cafe Blue "Un-mastered"  SACD    
Chord DAVE DAC
Listen to all that you can. But what you like the kind of. It doesn’t have to be expensive to sound good. Consider Delta-Sigma, Resistor Ladder (R2R), and FPGA, based types of DACs. Remember that the actual chip, or way the 1’s and 0’s are changed... 
Narrowed it down to two Monitors, Dyn Heritage Special, or Wilson Tune Tot
Find a pair of Dynaudio Confidence C1 Platinums and be happy. Less money sound better than either one.  
macOS Big Sur iTunes playback with lid closed and controlled by iTunes "Remote" app
Thanks Tom, this is a helpful work around. I just don’t u see stand why it no longer works when it did before. I would like it to wake when I send a command to it from the Remote app and then sleep again when I am done listening, rather than be aw... 
The best speaker for a small room...at any price point.
