Musical Fidelity A3.2 or what else?
Korsun v8i, 250 watt monster, arguably, the same as RR affirmation. Qucik, transparent, and cheap. I dont think that it has any competition in its price-class. 
Best intergrated amp for under $2000
KORSUN v8I. 
speaker cable that will soften the highs
The various producst of harmonix reportedly, and accoring to my experience, are tuned to darken a bit the sound-print of a system. Try various combination of them, like tuningd discs, room tuning devices, ics, loudspeaker cables an dpower cords. A... 
ac conditioner
Hydra does have this option. Look for the website of the Polish distributor. It lists both US plug and schuko versions of 220v models of hydras. Also, PS audio has this. As far as I know, the models for the chinese market has this option. (I have ... 
Balanced to unbalanced?
Why dont you ask Alan Wright? I am sure he would give the best answer and that will be also honest.

The best sounding FM Tuner is.....
I like my Accuphase T 105. It is very nice sounding tuner. 
Wilson Benesch Curve/act
I have Act I. About 15-20 inch from wall. Works fine. No real problem. Of course if I could pull out more, soundstage would be better. Also, I only use it at realitively moderate level. If you like music really loud, you might need more space. 
stacked equipment isolation?
Hi I have the same situation. I had tried various tweaks to isolate my cdp from the tuner, on wich it is placed on. None of them worked really. Finally, I found a solution which seems to work: maple platform, bought in Ikea, on the tuner. 4 nordos... 
Thiel CS6 to Von Schweikert VR4 JR - Am i Crazy?
Yes, you are crazy. Thiel 6.0 is among the best speakers I have ever heard. Maybe you really should change first the source, as Tvad said. I dont know McCormack, but I heard Thiel with Pass 250, and that combination might provide what you are afte... 
APL 3910 to a Krell KSA 250 What interconnect ???
Sonic siniture of an interconnect so important, you ought to be careful what to buy. Kimber select - while a great ic - is too warmish (for me in that particular system in which I tested). I would try rscables middle-in-the road silver-palladium i... 
Electric power in Europe
The only thing you ave to be careful, that some manufacturers in order to save their insane prices in Europe (ML 390s here 9.200 euro, equals 12.000 usd) and block black import, put a small chip inside their machines to allow run it only on 60hz. ... 
Best budget tuner
You can find easily used tandbergs, accupahese tuners below 500 USD. As far as real budget tuners, I had Harman Kardon TU 940 and I did like very much. It was way betten than more pricey Sony ES models. 
Who has listened to Sonus Faber "Cremona Auditor"
They are nice on chamber music, violin sonatas, maybe on small ensemble jazz in a relatively small room. On Carmina Burana: painfully lean for 4000 usd. Be careful with amp. They really need huge solid state amp to be driven (I heard with krell, t...
