Are the Bozak compact monitors mb-80 keepers?
@jasonbourne52,Actually, Bozak was on Connecticut Ave in South Norwalk, Conn.   I went to the factory many times to pick up a speaker order.  
Outlaw Audio repair
Typical Audiogon post. Person complains, solution found and the OP ghosts us. Rinse and repeat.  
Clearaudo Concept vs Rega P6
I would go with the Clearaudio.  I had a Rega Planar 3 and hated it. Much too lightweight sound.   
Revel Salon 2 vs Vandersteen 5a Carbon
If you love the Triton Ones, move up to the $10K Triton Reference.  That is what I did and have zero regrets.  They are powered by Mac electronics.   
20 amp cables for PS Audio P20?
If the PS20 has a 20 amp IEC than use a 20 amp cord, if not use the 15 amp cord.  Don’t make it harder than it needs to be. I would use at minimum a 10 gauge cord.  
Inheritance ($100K) with a caveat
I would have a nice dedicated audio room addition added to our home and place my main system in it.  
Primaluna Prologue Premium CDP Heat Concerns
It’s normal, you have a Tube CD player. If you are really worried (no need to be), call Kevin @ Upscale Audio.  He is the distributor and part owner of Prima Luna.

What’s a mistake you made by being impulsive?
Another big mistake I very much regretted was buying a pair of Von Schweikert VR33 speakers of course without ever hearing them. They were marketed as a $15,000 pair of speakers for only $3750 sold factory direct and covered with a black sock. Whe... 
Sony HAP-Z1ES + MacBookPro
@cleeds,Last year I spoke with Sony Tech and was told that the HAP is being phased out and that there would not be any more firmware updates. 
Sony HAP-Z1ES + MacBookPro
I am sure Sony won't update the HAP software.  It has been discontinued for years and the amount of Mac users are probably a lot less than the Windows users. 
Need recommendations for 20' speaker cable
@devilboy Don't bother sending the cables back.  I  still have a 15 foot pair that I am not using.  Perhaps you can give to a budding audiophile? 
Hmmmmm speaker cables
Canare 4S11 speaker cable. 11 gauge   20 foot pair under $200.00.  
Need recommendations for 20' speaker cable
I gave the OP (devilboy) a pair of 20 foot long Groneberg Quattro Reference speaker cables.  He received them a couple of weeks ago.  I was going to sell them to him but decided to give them away to him for zip, didn't even cost him  shipping.  I ...
