Amp keeps shutting off
Double check the speaker wiring/connections. If good, try the Vidar on another known good speaker in an attempt to replicate the fault. 
What DAC upgrade made you say “DAMN, that sounds SO MUCH better than my last DAC”?
The most recent PS Audio software update is pretty good. It’s not exactly a new DAC yet overall the sound quality is much improved.  
What is the most important component to consider while building a new system?
The room.  
The Return of Live Music
“Now that venues are finally reopening, will anyone else’s system soon take a back seat to the clubs and concert halls where music is created live?”Perhaps, somewhat. Hopefully the lockdowns are at an end. Time will tell.  
Nicks or McVie.....
The Buckingham Nicks album was unknown to me as well. Will definitely have to check it out.  
Speaker Cables? why all the hype for expensive speaker wire?
Isn’t that the same stuff Nelson Pass uses in his videos? 
Analog Upgrade - Where to start?
Agree with the vote for Space-Tech Labs. For the price paid, it’s very good. It may displace the Stellar.  
Who is using I2S cables?
Currently running an I2S between PS Audio cd and dac. To these ears it sounds superior to the xlr or coaxial connections. The I2S cable in service was the one provided with the unit from ps audio. 
What are the current useless terms in this "audio world"
Wife Approval Factor. 
Nicks or McVie.....
“Ha! I have for years associated Nicks' singing with not a billy goat, but rather sheep. Baaah.”Lol.  
It was working before I took it apart

Whats on your turntable tonight?

Recommendations for speakers that sound great at lower volume levels.
Biamp these speakers. Perhaps a ss amp for the woofers. They will come alive at low levels.  
Cartridge recommendations?
A slight correction to my previous recommendation. The Grado is a moving iron cartridge, not a moving magnet. Alas the Grado recommendation in null and void. If one chose the Grado route regardless of the iron vs magnet engine, the infamous Grado ... 
Considering a POSSIBLE replacement for speakers. Opinions?
Maybe try the Audiophiles guide by PS Audio? Perhaps you have exactly what is needed, minus proper setup?
