Need DAC/Streaming Advice
@russellrcncom +1 on the mini. I just recently acquired a Lumin u1 mini from upscale audio. They offered a 10% discount for returning customers so I was able to get the mini for 1800. Still above your 1500 limit, but it’s closer and every bit coun... 
Speaker Cable Advice
I second Dorkwad. (Never thought I’d say that, great name btw). You can’t go wrong with bill dion (grannyring) and his acoustic bbq speaker cables.  
PS Audio P5 - leave on or power off when done listening?
Thanks for the feedback, I had been powering it off via the front which is sorta like a standby as I understand. So I take it you guys when you say you leave yours up, that you mean you don’t turn anything off except maybe the touchscreen? Except ...

Congrats on your current endeavors but you will be back. 😀 
Has anyone tried these stunning new CPT power cord?
I could not read the entire thread, so good on ya Jim2. I tried to search for core power Technologies and either they are no longer in business or were sold and not coming up with a google search for core power technologies.com... 
Funny question, 170lb speaker and foam base, how to remove?.
Buy you a set of these, or something similar. Will make your life much easier for this task, and safer than trying to lean it on its end or side.https://www.northerntool.com/shop/tools/product_200055024_200055024?gclid=Cj0KCQiArqPgBRCRARIsAPwlHo..... 
What’s wrong with Diana Krall?
When she was singing with Tony Bennett on a network Christmas show a few days ago, I thought something didn’t seem right with her voice. Her words didn’t seem crisp and clear like I’m used to from listening to her “Look of Love” SACD. Whether it’s... 
Amp for LS50
If you are seriously considering musical fidelity, check out upscaleaudio.com. He has the m2si integrated at 40% off the 1k msrp. Unless you go used and get more for your $$$. And can stretch it a bit, this Hegel here on AUDIOGON would have plenty... 
What to do when the preamp you were ripped off on shows up online ?
After reading your post explaining your 15 k purchase and the red flags from eBay. I put 90% of the fault on ebay and not the seller. Sure the seller did get antsy and could have handled the follow up with you and the sale completion better so you...

+1 on the audio classics route. And if if I were you, I would shout that sellers details across every forum and chance you get (unless we are not hearing the full story). But based on what you have said, he is a crook, plain and simple, and any wa... 
New Cartridge Suggestions
@chakster, I don’t quite understand your post. Are you for or against the Hanna carts? It was that video that got me looking into the Hana line and they are at the top of my list when I buy my TT as I understand they are hard to beat for the money.  
Just got the Focal Scala V2 at a great price
I’ve been hearing a lot of good things about Hegel as well, but unfortunately I don’t see anyone near me in Tampa that has them for a Demo. The price seems better than most and supposedly they are built quite well for SS amps. 
Just got the Focal Scala V2 at a great price
If you want to support your British brethren, have a look here for some amp manufacturers.http://www.stoneaudio.co.uk/best-of-british/The stuff I’ve seen from Chord, looks impressive, but the cost seems to match. Way out of my budget. And if if yo... 
Integrated Amplifier
The new anthem STR integrated is very  compelling. I’m in the same boat where I’m getting into 2 channel from a HT environment but don’t want to outlay for new speakers at the moment so HT bypass would be a nice feature to have for cost and conven...
