Selling, donating or giving away a good pair of vintage speakers
@rhg88 I can understand your attraction to these speakers. Big, bold cabinets. Lots of drivers ready to get the air (and music) moving about the room. As a speaker geek (I own a speaker patent) my guess is that the speakers were just a bit on th... 
Would you move to a bigger house if you could just to have a better listening room ?
I have bragging rights to a 4’ section of the closet that is "dedicated" to my duds -- mostly themed T-shirts such as: "Real Cars Don’t Shift Themselves". Otherwise, we have a "shared" space. I do have an understanding wife who tolerates 6’-4" Alp... 
Not sure what to think
OP, I'm looking at this from an entirely different perspective: Mac has been on your "bucket list" for quite some time.  You have a great deal of emotional inventory attached to the brand, and I'm sure you've mocked up images in your head of tha...

RIP. Johnny Barbata
There are many "unsung" heroes, quite literally, in the music industry.  Mr. Barbata will be missed.  
12 wire compared to Nordost Blue Heaven Speaker Cable?
@ristrettox6  Welcome to the forum. After you unpack the Blue Heavens and connect them, I would either a) put on some Depends@, or b) have a change of underwear close by.  You should experience something(s) quite different in your system -- in a...

My Remote on my preamp has stopped working
You can point the remote at the camera on your phone and should see something flashing white light.  This will be a good indicator of whether the remote is working. if not, new batteries and cleaning of contacts. Good luck.  
Listening Room
For some odd reason I can't full explain, this reminds me of a quote a read a while back: "If you find our dogs annoying, we'll be happy to lock you in another room."    
What did a good 10 MHz clock do for your Gustard R26?
Everyone likes a good 10 mHz clock. Contacting tech support to get them adjusted for daylight savings time every 6 months is rather inconvenient.  
How often, and how, do you clean your stylus?
I clean the screen on my iPad before and after each Tidal playlist.  
Did anyone else disconnect thier equipment due to the geomagnetic storms?
If you’re grown wary of your equipment, you can remove all the surge protection and hope for the best ... er ... worst.
