Audioquest vs Acoustic Zen
Been a PAD dealer for many, many years, just became an AZ dealer a few months back using Crescendo speakers and thought I'd give their cables a try. Glad I did!(Dealer disclaimer) 
Audioquest vs Acoustic Zen
I just placed into my system (only 20 minutes ago) an AZ Absolute Copper XLR (from pre to amps) and with a quick 24 hr burn-in they are beautifully musical. There's lots of detail and they soundstage wonderfully.....will give them 5-7 days and the... 
Thinking I need a Sub...
If you do go the route of subs look into the new JL's (I've not heard them yet but do use the F113). I used to use REL's and had many, many issues so my recomendation is to stay away from REL. Just my 2 cents worth.(Dealer disclaimer)

Audio Note Japan AN-S7 MKII Silvered Former
If it's not a AN-S7Cz then it's most likely only worth $1200-1500 at best. The AN-S7Cz was much more flexible than the newer KSL-SFz and unless you are using an AN-IOm catridge the 7 is the better step-up. BTW a new KSL-SFz only costs $2500 out of... 
AC cables for Atmasphere MA1s, MP1?

Acoustic Zen Crescendo
Charles1dad you are so right. Just because something costs more doesn't make it better. I myself have learned the hard way, a Kondo SOUGA amp ($50K) was easily beaten by an Atmasphere S30 (with the right speaker...not the Crescendos) and my Kondo ... 
Isolation platforms for turntables
Sorry 11flat6 regarding your compatibility problems with the passive Vibraplane. When I sell these units (now more than 6,000 sold world-wide) I never would sell a passive version to anyone that was going to use it with a linear tracking tonearm. ...
