What speaker cables work best with MBL systems?
You could always use The Cable Company. They have 20+ years of records available. They will tell you what people that have the same equipment bought after they demoed a bunch of different cables. 
DVD-R Iincopatability?
Windows is not good for this type of thing. Download and burn a live Linux distro to a DVD. Live means you run the OS directly from your CD/DVD rom drive in your PC. It doesn't alter your computer in any way. When you are done, you remove the disc... 
Audio Research PH6 Phono Stage - How is it?
I've been reading some of your threads, and what you're attempting to do is very risky. I know that you are new to high end audio, but going by reviews and opinions is not good enough. Generally speaking, as you go up the ladder with high end comp... 
Cary 306 Professional vs. Marantz SA11S3
"So I chose the Cary, I think it would work well with your tubed gear, if you don't mind the lack of SACD."I'm pretty sure the 306 plays SACD's. 
Mirage OMD-15 Carpet/Isolation Spikes
" I believe the thread size is 1/4-20 according to a speaker manufacturer matrix located on Brass and Granite Audio website."You can easily check that by purchasing a bolt with the same thread specs. 
DVD-R Iincopatability?
It's possible to have DVD-R and DVD+R compatibility issues, but its very rare. If you set out to find a non compatible drive on purpose, it would be a difficult task. 
Old Equipment Inherited
The OP's playing games. He knows exactly what he has and is either too cheap to take out a listing, or is playing dumb claiming that he inherited all this heavy old junk and doesn't know what to do with it all."The Counterpoint SA-20/20 went in th... 
DVD-R Iincopatability?
I thought you were talking about computer drives. If not, finalizing the disk is probably a good idea. 
DVD-R Iincopatability?
Will these disc's play on anything? I assume they play on the LG, but you don't actually say. Also, what format are the recorded files? 
stereo preamp $2-5K suggestions
"08-04-15: Milpai3' from back and side walls is not good. Back and side distances should not be equal. Might be that is causing the issue?"Highly unlikely. Right now the OP is using the preamp section of a HT receiver. If he wants good quality 2 c... 
Mirage OMD-15 Carpet/Isolation Spikes
I didn't know Klipsch bought API. That answers a lot of questions regarding they're odd behavior. It looks like they did the same thing with Energy. 
Tubed DAC w Balanced Out & Volume Control
Sorry, I didn't mean to be too negative in my last post. There's just been a run of questions lately treating components like they're generic items. "Should I get a stereo amp or monos?, bipolar or mosfet's?". Things like that. Anyway, back to you... 
stereo preamp $2-5K suggestions
"The speakers are about 8 feet from each other and 3' from the back and side walls. This weekend I will play around with speaker positioning more."Try them closer together. Experiment a little, but start around 6.5 to 7ft apart, from the inside ed... 
Tubed DAC w Balanced Out & Volume Control
I would judge a dac by sound quality, and not some generic feature, but that's just me. The Aesthetix Pandora will meet all of your specifications. It may even sound good, too. 
Mirage OMD-15 Carpet/Isolation Spikes
The ones that Mirage gives you are nothing special, and are most likely generic themselves. If you live in Canada, try API. If you are in the US, Cable Company will have something for you.
