Audiogon is becoming the hub for scammers.
That’s a shame. I’ve have nothing but good luck buying off Audiogon. Hope Audiogon bans these bad actors.   
Preamp recommendations for Quad IIs with ESL-57s
+1 on the preamp @russ69.  
CD transport vs.streaming
The best set up is a stand alone dac, cd transport and streamer. It will all sound great and I agree with @ghdprentice in that you’re “set for life” and I’m 61.   
Dr. Johnny Fever from WKRP in Cincinnati has signed off :-(
Great guy, and great show. Wonderful legacy.   
the cart or the horse?
Look for an integrated amp and ditch the parasound and denon. I’m a McIntosh guy so I’d recommend one of their used integrated amps if budget it tight. Good luck. With a bette preamp and amp you’ll be amazed at how good it will sound.   
Would appreciate a group consensus on Agon purchased amps
With all that is available today in power cords, they are like a separate component. I know if I had an amp I’d at least send a stock or similar power cord, not a $3k shunyata sigma. Maybe the best way to answer this is at least mention that a pow... 
Why exotic stylus not used on MM?
My audio technica mm has a micro line.

@tomcy6 Excellent video. This was very I formative, and thank you for sharing.   
Eva Cassiday Blew Me Away with her cover of Wayfaring Stranger....
Very nice. Never heard her. I’m glad you shared!  
Is High End Audio catchin' up with you all?
Love it!😀  
Am I a hopeless audio snob?
I think your fine and you should get whatever makes you happy. Looks are certainly an issue, so it’s your money, you need to be happy with all aspects of your purchase.   
Underpowered?
Mac amp of course.   
Underpowered?
I’m a Mac fan and I’d say stay with Mac gear. If you need more muscle, which I can’t believe with a Mac, maybe you should think about pairing it with a larger amp.

Oh yes, don’t give it a second thought. I have my McIntosh MC30s driving Sonus Faber Venere S’s which recommend a 40watt min..  I have no problems, let your ears be the judge.
