How much does volume matter when breaking in amps and cables?
IMO: Other components don't need much volume at all, just turned on with a signal running through them. 
Speakers I have Two in mine??
Dave, you are never going to know until you demo the speaker, etc in your system. Bust a move and buy them, decide for yourself what sounds best and then sell the other. 
To Equi-Core or Not to Equi-Core? That is the question!
I agree the 1800 is a very good unit for the money. The few changes made make the 1800 even better. Dealing with Underwood Wally (Walter) is a very good experience, no worries...Read: https://forum.audiogon.com/discussions/perfect-path-total-conta...

Isoacoustics Gaia II on what type of speaker platform?
Just a thought:I'm wondering if a thick (2"-3") maple block would sound better than any type of stone that has been known to smear sound? I'm guessing one won't know until they try it. 
ADVICE PLEASE
I agree with those that say to make your own speaker cables. It's surprising what you can make yourself and how good it can sound.https://www.amazon.com/InstallGear-Gauge-Speaker-Wire-Oxygen-Free/dp/B079VJXN1Z/ref=sr_1_2_sspa?crid...https://www.am...
