Budget Subwoofer?
Tube Audio DesignParts ExpressThese are but two examples-you'll need to do some homework. 
How make my Ayre system "warmer"?
I'd say no to the C-7xe, as you'll just be getting more of what you want to get away from, as I've had (heard) it in 3 different systems. Also owned the V-5x, V-1xe & the V-3. I would say move to a tube pre-amp or tube CDP, such as BAT or some... 
OPINIONS: solid state amps under $2000
Blue Circle CS. You can get it new well under your budget. Don't let the low price make you think it's not worthy. 
To use a line conditioner/surge protector or not??
Strictly as a surge protector I'm using 2 Brickwalls that run to separate dedicated lines. I can't tell any difference between before/after & neither can a few friends of mine who use them in their system.There are more brands available & ... 
IEC Adapter
Try this 
Power Cord...16 ft
Why are you two conducting yourselves in this manner? All the OP wants is some info on a power cord. If you feel the need to continue, take it off-line. 
Power Cord...16 ft
I too would suggest a DIY. You can get some bulk Carol cable 12/3 at Home Depot and pick up some Hubbell ends at your local electrical supply house. I would also suggest getting a circuit tester & IEC to AC adapter.The adapter is called IEC C1... 
Life without a remote
At one point I had remotes for the amp, pre, CDP, curtains, fan & lights, so I could control almost every aspect of the listening sessions. I gained over 300 lbs. Now there are no remotes & simply turn on the system loud enough so I can he... 
RCA to XLR adaptor for Ayre, is it worth it?
Steve, you mentioned V-3xe. I was under the impression the V-3 was the only designated model number, regardless of upgrades. At least the two units I had were represented as such.I'd be interested in knowing what constitutes the xe from the V-3. 
RCA to XLR adaptor for Ayre, is it worth it?
Using an adapter will not give you balanced operation. You need a balanced component to connect w/the V-3 (via XLR) to achieve a truly balanced mode. Also, just because there is an XLR jack, that doesn't mean the piece is balanced. The Ayre is, so... 
TAD subwoofer -- how does it compare?
Don't know about other subs but for $129, how can you go wrong? 
Need some advice on buying a c-d player

silver IC's placement
You answered your own question with, "i will try both locations".My suggestion would be to try in ea. position for a few weeks & get used to the sound before you switch. I looked at the pic of your system & didn't see or notice any mention... 
sweetest sounding ss integrated
I've had a few int's over the years & in fact just downsized from a BAT amp & Pass pre a month ago to a Blue Circle CS. By far the best & most musical int. I've owned. I recently listened to the new Cayin hybrid & auditioned the MF...
