Indentical measurments = Identical performance?
Dude 2 different DACS and CD players can sound same depending on listener so go figure.  
What the ship just happened?
That’s called OPJ packaging. OPJ stands for Other People’s Junk. My answer to this situation would be simply return with refund including shipping.  
Best interconnects from preamp to amps, within budget
Go to "Mogami Ave" it has EVERYTHING you need on budget.  
Finally made the transition to a tube preamp!
Champagne, please!  
Where do you want your system to go when you go?
One last thing to worry about indeed.  
Questionable Tweak

Direct shipper recommendation

That's all not for live music. These recommendations above are for RECORDED music. For live music speakers and equipment probably will be way too loud for indoors.  
The Ventriloquism of Keith Jarrett
Keith's vocalizing is more annoying than pleasant. The true master of that is Tigran Hamassiyan. He took a lot from Keith's skill and other talented jazz musicians and created prog-jazz band. His skill is the next level from Keith by all means.  
Vintage Stanton cartridge — extreme lean to one side normal?
All you have to do is to straighten it out. The ears are bent from the stress or the impact. Just unbend so it's straight. Use necessary measurements and angle tools to place it onto the perfect center and orthogonal.    
Direct shipper recommendation
I normally use cargo airline and deliver them to pick-up area myself. If they're too heavy, I'll have Jose or Hector helping me.  
Questionable Tweak
I found that spider webs on my corners REALLY improve the sound. Therefore I have them even across speaker cones, between components and between shelves.  
Are you streaming tonight?
My bad... somehow I missed the hit on the above mentioned "trolls" when searched. Donno how that could happen Thanks for sharing regardless  
What is your take on high efficient speakers vs. low efficient speakers?
Hi efficiency speakers reveal more noise
