Greatest debut album
I think that Barnstorm could technically be called a debut album?  It's listed that way in Wiki and such sites and is considered Joe Walsh's solo debut.  It also fits your favored decade range and it's OK... 
Personal vs. Market Values
Erik - Do you see what you're started here? If you keep this up you might turn this into TrufflegoN(TM)...  
WHY DO SOME AUDIOPHILES THINK YOU ARE BRAGGING WHEN YOU ARE SHARING?

Cannot find perfect sound
So I have a(t least one) question:  How far are you from your speakers?  And are you listening in stereo or something else?You're comparing your audio system - source & amplification, speakers and room - to an "in your ear" presence.  In many ... 
How do you move HEAVY speakers with sharp spikes without lifting?
Have you considered using a hand truck?  You know, one of those moving thingies with a pair of wheels and a nose plate to slide under whatever you want to move?  You would not have to buy one (although I admit it was so effective for a variety of ... 
Paul is Done
What steakster said...  I had a moment of incredible dumb luck and stumbled onto that documentary on a cable channel (A&E?  Paladia? whatever...) a few years back and just had to watch - the heck with bedtime.  There were so many kinda constan... 
Like the new look to audiogon ?
In a strange way, this was kind of a great upgrade at the perfect time. Let me explain... I am now retired. I have not purchased nor sold anything for quite a while as I've had just a few other things to attend to - but now all that has chang... 
Steely Dan CDs
FWIW - I've usually had pretty decent luck by at least considering the data from DR.  Steely Dan offerings often do get pretty high marks from DR loudness, but not always... http://dr.loudness-war.info/album/list/dr?artist=steely+dan  
Buyer wants copy of passport?
I think I like kijanki's approach the best - that one may have made someone laugh out loud... 
Burning/breaking in new equipment?
Seems like you've gotten about 98%+ of everything answered that you'd need to know.  And BTW, that's some fine gear on the way - I've heard that there might be "someone" who may be just a little jealous... One last thing - the only time I ever ser... 
I'm wondering if I can fit this in my house
"Local pickup only".  Not sure about affording the fuel (much less the semi) to truck that stuff to our house.  And it's speakers only - we'd probably have to talk with the local power company about just wiring something directly into the grid to ... 
whats the very best sounding cables for realistic money
It feels like I've replied with the following maybe once or twice a year for the past decade.  This approach should fit your budget and is usually good for a laugh.  And you can always look this up and see for yourself...Way, way back when I'd stu... 
Who thinks $5K speaker cable really better than generic 14AWG cable?
Warren Buffet's cables?  I dunno - does he use the ones that are spares for his Bugatti Vayron?  You know, that car with the $25K tires (or $60K tyres, depending upon which link in your Google search you click.  Both apparently still need the $70K... 
Time for a change. Need some Advice
@shpritz - If you really just wanna spend the money then please go right ahead (and if you have a moment you could also send your C4 Sig's to me...).  However, before you do you might want to pay some attention to the comments from Johnny R.  True... 
Please assure me I'm not going to burn my house down.
Do you live alone?  And alone in a single-family house, not an apartment/condo/duplex where others live in the same building?  If you'd answer "no" to any of that then please just get a commercially acceptable power cord.  And please get it now - ...
