high end subwoofer...which one tho?
There's lots of good subs out there for sure.I have been quite curious about the Paradigm sub25.if you like reviews, a few have put it above the JL Audios.I haven't heard it,but she's suppose to be the one to beat,except perhaps the sub2.Of course... 
JBL 1400 Array's
There's a guy on audiocircle who has a pair(he really likes them).I have seen maybe two reviews on them.I think the guysuser name is laundrew. 
Backlit remote for Bryston BCD1
Yep the code,also you don't have to press a button to light her up as she is touch sensitive,actually my br-2 remote is also.I just pick them up or even jsut touch them and they light up. 
Torus RM-20 vs Shunyata Vray
Just to add, using the power differences between the two motorized bikes,you can definately,hear,feel the difference and it's not suttle.My description may not be audiophile type language,but we all know how a low powered bike compares to somethin... 
Torus RM-20 vs Shunyata Vray
All I can say is that's the best way I can describe it(musically)if it came down to it the Shunyata would be the 90 and the Torus would be the Harley,That's how much an improvement they make.Having reserve power for the amps makes a huge differenc... 
Power Conditioners
Definately try as many as you can,most audio stores will let you audition at home.For me I've been thru a few conditionersand have discovered the Torus PIUs,if you can I'd put this on your short list.I don't have to keep looking,upgrading my condi... 
Bryston RM20 Power Conditioner
Shunyata was one of the top,I had a hydra 6(components)and hydra 2s for the amps on 6 dedicated lines.I liked the shunyatas,but the Torus took the music so much further.huge sound stage,lots of separation between the instruments and very authoriti... 
Bryston RM20 Power Conditioner
I have two,a 20a balanced and a 60a balanced.If you ever seen one for sale on here is because they went abigger Torus.these are a major upgrade(even with dedicated lines).most conditioners can only give what the wall has to offer:15a or 20a ect.A ... 
Amps direct to wall vs. power conditioner?
I have 2 dedicated lines(balanced) and run all componentsand 28s thru 2 Torus PIUs.One thing I'll mention is a Torus will give you way more amperage than the wall can give(15a or 20a)a Torus can give up to 400a,short term on dynamic peaks.They rea... 
Lessloss on power conditioners/dedicated lines?
To my ears,I don't hear any degradation musically or added noise whatsoever.All my amps,components are connected with lessloss PCs(DFPC).All PCs are plugged into a Torus(PUI)on dedicated lines.I find the Torus is too good an upgrade as they give m... 
Subwoofer placement
That's what I would do also as Hevac1 has suggested.Put the sub where you normally sit and crawl around the room.I had one of my DDs in the corner and it was way too much bass for me,I now have both mine almost midway opposite ofeach other along e... 
Turntable wall shelf
soundfooting inc,solid oak wall mounts,superb quality,will hold up to 700lbs.I have one and I have a Clearaudio champion II with a Symposium shelf under the TT.Weight wise ,roughly 95lbs or better.The shelf has real nice arches that the shelf sits... 
virtual dynamics new ultra clear interconnects
Besides the cable,the ends seem like a tweek guys were doing with their power cables.They had put a brass(copper) coupler on the female side of the cable that inputs to component(cdp,pre ect)There has been alot of positives regarding the 79cent tw... 
Bryston BDA-1
I too have both and I prefer the BCD-1.As jabas states they are close for sure.I have mine using the analog outs of the BCD-1 into my pre,using the BCD-1's dacs.I also so use the AES(digital out)ofthe BCD-1 into the dac. 
Break-in time
I USE TO USE Cardas GRCs,Buff would be right 100 hrs or so.I'D put a cd in and put it on repeat when I was at work for about a week,and of course play what ever cd I wanted tolisten to when at home.
