Just to add, I would start with the Classic cable and look into the ultimate to see if it is a worthwhile upgrade in the future.  
The end of physical media is neigh
The end isn't near. LG was never selling many players to begin with. Most sales went to Panasonic and Sony. Those are still the top decently priced ones to get and they still sell plenty. I'm surprised LG didn't make this move sooner tbh.   
"Cleaning" Vinyl Makes It Worse Not Better!
Ill be checking some of the links posted here. But basically, any product you use, should get an proper rinse after, in case any of the cleaning chemicals are left behind. You need to first use a tool that will clean it properly, then rinse. I use...

@ghdprentice yeah, I wish I could, AR is very expensive over here on the used market, but I will keep an eye out for it. I hope to move up to Amati one day.  
New expensive power cord for amp and no change in sound?

@zprr let me know if you ever got the chance to compare the xp22 to the 740p? thanks  
Neat "Tweaks" to improve the SQ of your streamed music!!!
As far as I've read, the iFi LAN iSilencer only needs to be used on one end correct? No need to have it on both ends of the cable right? thanks  
DAC suggestion for PC
@milpai Correct I am using directly from my PC, sitting in front of the screen. I should have mentioned from the beginning, this is my office desk setup.  Fidelizer could be very interesting. What about using the Roon app on pc, does that help any?  
DAC suggestion for PC
Yeah, the streamer will be last purchase. Order will be 1. Speakers 2. amp 3. Replace DAC with a streamer/dac  For Speakers, Im not sure yet, Im looking at the used market for now. I found some Sonus Faber Toy bookshelves that might be nice. Alwa...
