Rosewood, Cherry or Piano Black.  
Selling collection directly in the pacific northwest?
You can contact TMR, they buy used equipment.  I did a deal with them where i sold an amp to them and bought a more expensive one.  I came out way ahead.

Pre Amp Question. Old or New?
To OP, just be aware that member “Ghdprentice“ is a huge ARC fan so his comments mostly lean towards that brand.  I owned version 1 of the Rogue RP5 preamp and found it quite neutral which wasn’t what I wanted.  I wanted the rich tube sound which ... 
For Those Who Are Unaware of The Cable Company
I just received a new Acrolink interconnect from them, brand new. Wait time was 6-7 weeks.   The importer of Acrolink is a real sh**head, he sat on my order for weeks but Steve at the Cable Co stayed on him and he finally checked his stock and shi...

Aleph 3 safe to operate?
If the amp is brand new, there is no reason to use a variance,  just turn it on and enjoy it. Variance really not needed for a brand new item and the amp is not really that old to begin with.   
Picking a power amp
A McIntosh amp would be a perfect match for your McIntosh tuner/preamp.   
Anybody ever dealt with Safe and Sound audio
@muggyjones1234 , I believe they didn’t charge you sales tax because they do not do enough business in your particular state to warrant it.  Happened to me a couple of times when ordering audio online and that was the explanation.   
Initial Impressions Shure V15xMR w Jico SAS Stylus
@neonknight, if interested in selling the Shure/Jico, send me a PM.  I collect and use them.   
Acrolink 7N-DA6300IV Mexcel Interconnects
I own 4 Acrolink Cables but not the one you are asking about. All of them are built very well, are not delicate and the connectors are very robust and high end. I love Acrolink cables.  I waited over 6 weeks for my recently received newest Acrolin... 
Von Schweikert Outstanding customer support
@corelli , I had the VR33 speakers for about a year and spoke to Albert 3 times regarding the bass problem.  He was always extremely nice and very helpful.  I sold the speakers within the year as I could never get satisfactory bass in my room.  
So what series are you WATCHING now?
@gkelly, I also have Earth Abides and Under the Dome which I haven't watched yet. My wife dislikes all Sci Fi.  I am looking forward to Season 5 of For all Mankind and the new Star Trek series Starfleet Academy.  There is also some kind of Alien ... 
Schiit Lokius 6 band equalizer - in use observations
I bought one 2 years ago and use it in my office system. It is used in conjunction with a McIntosh MA 6600 integrated, JBL L100 Classic speakers and a single SVS 2000 Pro, ported subwoofer.  Just a few minor tweaks here and there got me exactly wh...
