Elevating subwoofer about two feet off the floor
Tweak, the bass trap has damping materials, which I believe would cause it to affect the sound, rather than simply elevating it. 
Simaudio moon nova LE cdp
Do you enjoy the sound of the Cdp?If so, why chase after the 'flavor of the month'?IMO, you will have more flexibility if you use the cdp as a transport and connect it to a DAC, if you are looking for a sound upgrade/change.

I guess the only way to know for sure is to buy a pair and try them with subwoofers. Who know what kind of damping  
Wilson Sophia 1 vs vandersteen 2ce
Congrats sinewave!Let us know what you think about the Wilson's. I, myself, would like to buy a pair, should an opportunity to buy a pair at a reasonable cost come up.As far as cables, I think Transparent has been high on the Wilson list.

Interesting find. I can see this working with subs that are either light in weight or not constructed tightly-so that you can control the 'boomyness'.I wish I could try a pair with my Vandy 2w's and see if they make a difference, but I have alread...

Connecting a Consumer Stereo Pre-amp RCA to a Nakamichi MR-1
The image wasn't very clear, but I now see what you meant.I believe interconnects shouldn't be too sensitive to noise. If I remember correctly, it is better to use longer interconnects than speaker cable when possible.Good luck with the interconne... 
Direction of aftermarket fuses (only for believers!)
Great post almarg.Though I did not think it would do much, changing the amps mains fuse to a HifiTuning fuse did result in a change in the sound of my stereo. (note: I bought the last of the previous version HifiTuning fuses at a discount-$80 buck... 
DAC recommendation in the $1k range
I have the Schiit Multibit and McCormack Dac, both under $1K.The SMc can be upgraded, too.I am very happy with both.B
