Does hybrid amp really has the best of both world?
Pdspect got it right. Nothing to add. 
Subwoofer for "seamless" integration with Zu Druid
My experience may not be very relevant since my Druids are somewhat modified. Anyway, I have had great success using two JL Fathom f110 with my Druids. Features such as inbuilt auto dsp, phase, and roll-off options provided by these subs makes it ... 
JPLAY - It aint subtle
If you guys haven't updated to the newest version 5.2 you need to do so asap. Massively improvement over the old version. 
Has anyone tried the Coincident Dynamo 34SE
Has anyone tried one of these as yet?

Power Strip
If I had the scratch and just based on reviews, I'd seriously consider the Acoustic Revive rtp-6 ultimate. They used passive emi/rfi filtering, pay fanatic attention to vibration control, use high quality Oyaide R-1 outlets and do turn up used occ... 
Power cord recommendation for DAC
I have a Metrum Octave that is fed by Empirical OR5/CAPS server. The rest of the system consist of a Thor pre, Pass amp with a mix of acoustic revive interconnects, E.S.P.pcs and MAC Shotgun speaker cables. Recently, I have been switching between ... 
Pre amp for Pass Labs XA30.5 – Tube or SS

Where do I go from here?
I agree with Soix. I'd look into preamps to start, then go from there. 
450 Pound Monobloc Amplifier
The weight may be an unconscious attempt by the Boulder designers to maximize the iron effect as explained by the Iron Theory proposed by Jeff Lafortune. 
Anyone tried fuses, power cord with Metrum Octave?
I am using a Hifi Tuning Supreme fuse to good effect. I haven't tried anything else to compare but it was a definite step up from what the unit came with. In my system, I found the Octave very responsive to all the power cords I tried, including M... 
Latin Female Singers - Any suggestions?

I need an all Tube Amp.
I once auditioned the NHT 2.3 with the original Krell integrated amplifier, the 300i if I recall correctly. They had really extraordinary synergy. I'd think a pairing along those lines, maybe used a used Krell, would provide a nice sound. I also r...
