Dust cap pushed in by kiddos... best home remedy?
Shop vac has worked for me in the past depending on how stiff the cap is. 
Yamaha A-S801 - horrible experience
For about the same money you can get an outlaw rr2160. Build quality is off the charts, has more features and sounds great within that price range. 
New TEO Audio ICs, who has them?

Best bookshelf speakers
@cooper52- I have owned many pairs of proacs including the 1sc’s and I have to say your description of the 610’s is spot on. They are really great speakers. I have since gone back to Proacs (studio 3’s) but have been thinking about getting a pair ... 
What Is Better In General, Sonos Or Say A Network Streamer By Cambridge Audio?
I highly doubt the sound quality of the node vs a sonos on a pair of boston hd5 will be dramatically different so the suggestion of spending $500 on a node 2i makes very little sense. Especially  if he only plans on using it 15% of the time. But t... 
Speakers with the most detailed midrange? (non-ESL/planar)

Nuforce STA200
Thanks for the comments guys I am looking to power 86 dB proacs and had started to think maybe the amp wouldn’t be able to power them sufficiently. I am considering an nad m51 as a pre. 
Nuforce STA200
I had been considering giving this amp a shot but my interest is starting to wane after reading thishttps://www.audiosciencereview.com/forum/index.php?threads/review-and-measurements-of-nuforce-sta-20... 
Restored Marantz 2275 or Vincent Audio SV-237?
I used Voskhod Rockets I believe. 
Restored Marantz 2275 or Vincent Audio SV-237?
Glad to see you are enjoying the Vincent it’s a great amp. I had a fully restored 2285b and sold it after I got my sv 237. If you can track down an RCA black plate triple mica 5751 tube to replace the stock 12ax7 you will find the amp sounds much ... 
Just getting started on a budget and need bookshelf speakers/receiver now

How to remove woofer speaker safely
I use large screw hooks like the ones used for hanging bicycles in a garage. Just insert the threaded screw into one of the screw holes and turn it about 3/4 of a turn or so and gently pull the speaker from the cab. 
ProAc monitor owners - which stands?
I have my large studio 3’s on a pair of Skylan’s.
