Especially the Live Hot Pink Blues Album or the first self titled album.

Mine has been running for close to a hundred hours straight in my Office system breaking in and it is barely warm.   
Simaudio W7 amp sounds not quite expected
If this is a new amp just taken out of the box last night then a little early to make a judgement on it or make changes.  Also unless you can find a pair of Nordost cables used that you can try and turn over again I would be careful with them as t...

TWL Digital American also. 
Anyone using a Class D amp w/ribbon tweeters?
Would be worth the effort as like all the Class D modules they have improved a great deal over the years.

I don’t hear top end sibilance on either the NC500 or 1200as  based amps nor on the proprietary modules from Nuprime. You can try the first two types for right around $1000 new. Just like the other types all Class D implementations are not the sam... 
Kinki Studio EX-M1 200wpc Integrated Amplifier
If you are using L12's you are correct that RCA input is your only option.  I am using F12's in both of my systems so I have the option to go either way.

If your subs have speaker level inputs that would seem to be a better option than "modifying" a working design.   
Cardas Power Cords for DAC
In my system my favorite for digital gear is the Triode Wire Labs Digital American.  Pete offers a money back trial period if you don't like it.  https://www.triodewirelabs.com/product/digital-american-series/ 
Bryston 4b3 or BHK 250- how woudl you compare them?
Your best deals will typically come from High Performance Stereo in Miami, The Music Room in Colorado or Underwood HiFi for PSA gear.  As you probably know Underwood Wally lives in Hawaii but the main warehouse is in Atlanta.  
AES/EBU suggestions for Mytek Brooklyn DAC+ and PS Audio PerfectWave Transport
The Canare or the equivalent Mogami cable are a great place to start. 
Nuforce STA200
It doesn't make any difference as your perception of "imaging" is coming from the speakers.  If it makes you feel better then try it both vertical and horizontal and see if you hear any difference.  If you speakers don't need the extra muscle then... 
Another Speaker Recommendation Request
ChuckIf Clayton will let you "test drive" the X2's it would be worth the effort.  I ordered the M3 Turbo S about two and a half years ago with the thought of hearing what was different about them.  After letting them break in a getting them proper... 
Another Speaker Recommendation Request
The Nola KO is a great choice.  In fact I just took a pair out of my main system that I need to crate up.  Last time I talked to Carl there was no KO stocking dealer in Florida.  Mostly Boxers and Contenders with the rest of the line as special or...
