Is There Just One Single Album That Does It For You, Completely? Just One.
I'd have just a few on my list - but gotta choose just one... Genesis - Selling England By The Pound  
How do I get my mp3s from my hard drive to my speakers?
I dunno...  Plex?  foobar2000???  There are actually just a few programs that seem to do the job - just manage the connection from hard drive (local?  network?)  to your preamp/receiver/whatever.  Heck, a number of receivers, etc. can be set up to... 
Help! Receiver or preamp? Im overwhelmed...
jsbranham7 - I think you may have mentioned some options that might really work for you.  For starters, that Marantz SR7012 just might do it for you.  We happen to have a den w/ Paradigm Studio 100s up front, Paradigm Studio center & surrounds... 
This website has become S-L-O-W
AdBlocker Plus works well.  And an easy alternative is to just use the Brave browser.  It's basically a cleaner and faster shell over Chrome that handles tracking and ad blocking.  It's free, fast, and highly recommended.  We use it for a program ... 
Good entry level cables
Maybe consider something like Belden cable (from Blue Jeans Cable)?  You can get 12-gauge, the price is gonna be right, you can install it practically anywhere (you can get CL3), and there are even more (and affordable) options to look at there.  ... 
is this the greatest live band of all time?
I kinda liked Derek & the Dominos...  Got to see them in concert over at SUNY Albany and then got a ride out to Syracuse Univ about a month later where they also had this guy Duane Allman join them that evening.   
Which one? Paradigm persona 3f, Revel Studio2, Audiosolution Figaro L, Goldenear reference
@ romney80 - If you really want to win bigley with this speaker acquisition that path is actually pretty easy - just have your wife choose the speakers.  Don't laugh (too much)!  The various choices mentioned above are all pretty darned decent an... 
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?
stevecham said: "It would be a very different world if government leaders were required to do their jobs in their underwear."Darn it!  Of course that immediately led right to an image I'd never want to imagine...  Now I'm gonna have to find a bott... 
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... 
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...
