Good points Justlisten. I do the things you mentioned too. I probably should have said there is less to be concerned with as a seller than a buyer. That chargeback 2 months after the sale from Paypal seems like something that you could have taken ... 
what was your wedding song?
"You Were Meant for Me" by Donny Hathaway. 
Best preamp for $1000 or less with remote
The VTL 2.5 when available is really very good. Provides a little quality tube sound and comes with a remote. Build quality is good too and under $1k.

If you are the seller there is very little to be concerned about. If you are the buyer you can ask the seller if they have feedback elsewhere (like Ebay). I've bought from individuals that had substantial good feedback on Ebay, but little or no fe... 
Wyred 4 Sound STP Se preamp tweaks and upgrades ?
My opinion of losing the mod cost on re-sale holds. But I will say that if Cullen has an upgrade mod for the STP SE then at least you can maintain the original intent of the designer's sound and possibly improve on what "sounds truly fantastic." 
Wyred 4 Sound STP Se preamp tweaks and upgrades ?
Tpreaves said it best. Why would you want to modify a preamp that "sounds truly fantastic," change the sound to something you can't predict, affect any future re-sale value, and, not be able to re-coup the modification cost?

You asked what you would put in your rig. So that precludes a new room. It's difficult to pick which pieces to add if money were no object. I would possibly say some Tidal speakers as they have become my high end interest and the front end would n... 
Power Cord: Need to choose from these, please help
this can be a lot of fun.04-17-10: Bob_bundusThere can also be a lot of frustration in what I sometimes call the "power cord jungle." They make a difference, but finding the ones that make a "positive" difference is not always a walk in the park.... 
The many musical faces of Mr. Miles Davis?
I prefer the Miles of the Second Great Quintet, but the First Great Quintet was incredible too. Thanks for keeping the focus on the greatest. 
Upgrading Rotel RCD-1072
Better chances of synergy with Cary imo. 
Jazz from 1957 to 1967 was the most definitive.
Hi Orpheus10, I missed your question from several days ago. After Bitches Brew things got very spotty for me regarding Miles' music. Over the years I have listened to and enjoyed the double live album "Agharta," "The Man With the Horn," "Tutu," an... 
Is McIntosh 6900 enough for B&W 802D?
You can do better than the 6900. I owned one, very two dimensional. 
A Job Well Done ...
Dan can be relied on to be fair and consistent. 
Best $2000-$3000 full range speaker?
Good luck. Hope you love the speakers. 
Will any tubes go well with my Accuphase?
Be sure not to pair an impedance mismatch with amp and preamp.
