Speaker Cables
lemonhaze" Why do members with considerable sums of money invested have to listen to your negativity and rude put-down??? Do you really believe so many enthusiasts across so many forums are all delusional?"First, I am not putting anyone down.Sec... 
Speaker Cables
ghdprenticeFor your main system, go up to 6 AWG then :-)At that thickness, almost all copper wires will have negligible resistance.Seriously, as I said, check the inductance and capacitance of the wire and buy accordingly :-) 
Speaker Cables
Just use any ordinary 8-10 AWG copper wire and ferrule the ends.They will sound perfect, look very neat and will not cost you a bundle.If you are really picky, contrary to common opinion, I would choose a wire with less inductance than capacitance... 
Linn Karousel bearing
Thanks daveyf. 
Surge protectors and power conditioners - Good idea or bad?
Unless you live in an area which is frequented by lightning strikes or your power company executives are crooks, they are not needed. 
Connecting a streamer via an Ethernet cable
Yes.A cable will ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS be more reliable, faster and better.Most of the time you may not notice the difference, but when there is air noise, wifi signals will be lost, corrupted and retransmitted MUCH more. 
Run length
Correction, I just realized that the Martin Logan transceiver is specific only to their own Dynamo subwoofers.But you get the idea. There are quite a few very good quality devices out there for wireless transmission with negligible latency. 
Is a Ortofon Black a step down from a Pickering XSV 3000
If you like what you have, stick with it.Just make sure you buy a lot of styli for it since older styli gets more & more difficult to find. 
Which amplifier should i buy
Go with an SS amp, like Pass Labs X250.8 or X350.8 and you will never look back.  You may even consider X600.8 but that may be an overkill although that puppy will take the Magico and control it better than a police dog. 
Run length
Is this an RCA (signal wire) or are you taking the speaker output to the sub ?If a signal wire, make sure your wire is very well shielded.  If a speaker output, you are ok.In any case, you can also consider wireless:https://www.martinlogan.com/en/... 
My System's Weakest Link - What Say You...
Your system sounds perfect to me. Do not add or change anything.  
The Contour System – Directional Wiring of Audio Parts
In fact, the effect of gravity on the electrons flowing in the wire is also a huge factor on sound. I can hear the difference like day and night. My setup on the moon sounds so much better since gravity is less. I had to also carry my own audiophi... 
Looking for my Final Pair!!
@dave_b When you have the chance, please change your subject header ...I completely got the wrong idea :-) 
One Cord To Rule Them All
@clearthinker,You seem to have some sense.  Do not try and argue with the $1000/power cable crowd.  You will never win.I just use 20 cents/ft  Romex wire and it works perfect :-) 
Your advice needed, speakers to buy $8K to $13K
Goldenear Triton Reference... you will not ever look back (and you do not need a sub, since it is in built).
