Hoopster you couldn't of said it any better. Gerry Mulligan meets Ben Webster my favorite sax album it makes me stop everything and enjoy the moment. 
which subwofer is better?
I also believe all the above subs would work great with your system. I would also like to mention that the JLF112 is another sub you should consider. I personally like it better than the F113. Good Luck. 
How much can be measured -- and how much cannot?
If we spent more time listening than thinking we would be better off. 
which subwofer is better?
Its really hard to give you advice without knowing what type of speakers you have. I use the Fll0 because it could keep up with my electrostatic speakers. Good Luck. 
VAC Owners:Outboard Phono Stage?
Recently purchased a bat vkp10se without the superpak option but it does have the lundahl transformers. Running all balanced connections. If your into jazz or female vocals this unit has a magical midrange. Good luck. 
Whats more important, source cables or amp cables?
Anywhere you loose the information you have a problem.A prime example of your only as good as your weakest link. 
Oppo 95: Burn-in...and Fan
You might be able to apply dynamat to the oppo 95 to reduce the fan noise. This product is used by car audio people often and does help to reduce noise. Easy to apply and not expensive. Good Luck

A little heads up about Sarah Vaughan she never sang a song the same way twice. Her Montreal 83 rendition is one of the best performances I know of. Also you tube James Brown and Pavarotti, not sure about the spelling, this is a mans world. Stella...

Pass XA Monoblock Amps with Audio Research Preamps
Give Reno HiFi a call and ask for their thoughts. I have a Ref 3 with a pass labs 350.5 and it works well in my system. Good Luck. 
Fastest subwoofer?
I have electrostatic speakers and my JL Audio F110 sub has no problem keeping up with them. They also have good detail and are easy to set up.

I have a Ref 3 with Pass Labs 350.5 sounds good believe the XA .5 series would sound better if funds permit. Good Luck and Happy Holidays.
