Seller is responsible to get item to you, intact. yes? or no?
UPS Store is the ABSOLUTE WORST !!!! They wrap everything in bubble wrap and send it.... 90% chance of damage. And UPS employees play football with the packages... I have only had claims with UPS.I prefer FedEX .... they have never damaged anythin... 
Are you as OCD as this audiophile?
Hey Mikey,I enjoy your videos. I hope you continue doing it. 
No one actually knows how to lculate what speaker cable they need
I welded 1000 MCM cable on with Pure Silver welding rod extracted from 3000 yr old coins recovered from the Red Sea.It was wonderful until it tipped my speakers over and busted the terminals off my amps...Sorry... I couldn't resist. 
What is the best way to approach improving room acoustics?
Order 'Get Better Sound' by Jim Smith. DVD or BookIt will help more than we can. But you can start by covering reflective glass surfaces while critically listening to music. 
No sound from speakers
Phono preamp? 
Which magnepan
I have the 1.7i as well.... VTL 2.5 preamp, Bryston 4b, Schiit DAC, UltraRendu fed by W4S power supply. King Cobra RCA & Kimber 12TC.The other day I was looking at an extra NHT sub setting in storage... idea!I ran speaker level through the sub... 
Upgraditis?
Constantly..... it’s expensive too.

You’ll probably need a phono preamp.....run the ground to it.
