For a first turntable and for the sake of simplicity. you can't go wrong with an entry level Rega with an Elys 2 cartridge.

Vincent integrated amplifiers. I'd be grateful for your experience.

+1 Ryan at Audio Classics. They rebuilt my C26 preamp.  
To extend Ethernet to remote location, are Powerline extenders or Mesh systems better?
@musicfan2349 Can you go into more detail on how the mesh point affected your MC preamp/playback. I have one  near my turntable.   
CDP or Transport and DAC? Recomendations?
  @stuartk Same question here.    
Appreciate Some Dac Advice
I'll chime in also. I've had the Pontus II  for about 2 weeks and it is superb. It sounded great right out of the box.  Great sound, built like a tank and  reasonable price. Very happy with this DAC. I spent about four hours  today listening... 
Appreciate Some Dac Advice
@btscott  Yes! I've had my Pontus II for a couple of weeks. Wonderful sounding DAC right out of the box, still breaking in. Great build quality and the price is very reasonable. Several online reviews you can check out.  
Technic SL-1200GR VTA bearing movement. Is this normal?
No, I don't.  
DAC Upgrade

DAC Upgrade
I totally get buying American when possible. The two DACs I own, MHDT and Denafrips Pontus II are excellent and a great value. The Pontus is also about same net $$.    
Bluesound Node2 with outboard DAC
Yes, me too. I recently installed Google Nest Mesh system and the Node (2021) works great. Prior to the Mesh I had a Netgear wifi extender wired to the Node and I was getting intermittent audio drop outs. I also use an external DAC.
