Has anyone used Nordost interconnects
Go copper ic and cables...suggest ps audio.Nordost is good but wicked overpriced.Larry 
Looking for warmth
Wow,that's about the harshest setup you could possibly have...that adcom amp is a real ear splitter...good recommendation is to do what Swampwalker suggests..good luck.Larry

for jazz that's fresh and new try Gianluca Petrella...."Indigo 4" cd out on Blue Note....for blues how about Big Mama's Door by Alvin Youngblood Hart??Larry K. 
Jonny Cash
buy any of the "American Recordings" 4 cd's he recorded near the end of his life....they are amazing and well recorded to boot!Larry 
Usher speakers/prices?
contact dealer Stephen Monte at Quest for Sound near Philly...he will sell for less than list and is a great guy. Tell him Larry k. said to call. 
How to tame...
Get to a friggin' ENT and get tested and examined...you're too young to have a big problem....something is wrong...get it checked out now.Larry

Den, real nice gear and room you have....own a Droplet also, about 9 months...found it superior to the BATVKD5se and Wadia 830 predecessors....have you changed out the Droplet Fuses??Larry

DROPLET CD player - Best aftermarket power cable?
I'm using a PS Audio Statement....this replaced a Nordost Vishnu....lots of detail, musical..this is the best pc I've used including a Shunyata.BTW it's a great cdp.Larry 
What power cord for a Outlaw Audio RR2150 ?
Suggest a PS Audio Statement...inexpensive and 30 day home trial...I own three...bettered my Nordost and Shunyata in my tubed system...more natural sound...superior bass and soundstaging....musical cord. 
speaker efficiencey?? Starting point...? 92db??
Don't get so hung up on the efficiency rating of the speaker...the main thing to look for is it's nominal impedance and is it stable at that number...if the speaker has a higher impedance, low 90's like a Martin Logan but goes down to 2 ohms then ...
