Subwoofer advice sought
why stop with DBA?  Might as well just go ahead with full-on 3D immersive surround sound and go for the full monty of sound envelopment, right?  Afterall, if you aren't setting a reference at producing a live acoustic music sound stage then just i... 
Most recordings you own by a single artist, group, or composer
Ron Carter has appeared on 2,221 recording sessions.  For jazz enthusiasts, you could have more recordings with Ron on them than any other musician in your collection and not even realize it ;-)

DAC Streamer Recommendation
You could use a Bluesound Node2i for streaming and send it through any DAC.  This is what I do in my 2nd system as I run the Node2i through a Benchmark DAC3.  This can be done for $2K and Amazon Music HD is supported by the BluOS app.  There are p... 
Cary Audio SLP-05 vs Coincident Statement Line Stage
any reason you are constrained to these two in this price range? I think they are both fully balanced circuits so perhaps that's one of your criteria?  I'd include other choices myself.  The separate left and right volume of the Coincident is a no...

I think @millercarbon's condition was induced by a magical cocktail that combined quantum materials, carbon derivatives, and nanotechnology.   
Need some Tube and Class A SS Suggestions
The only time I get infrequent high frequency distortion/edge/glare revealed by my D7's is with a digital stream in my system.  It never appears with vinyl. I use an Auralic Vega G1 and I suspect I'd need to move higher up in the market to get som... 
Bias adjustment
How on earth are you guys measuring bias while running a musical signal? The bias moves up and down continuously while the music playing. It must be idle to measure it accurately.      
Bias adjustment
+1 @testpilot   at what point does a consumer have a legal or ethical right to a firm's intellectual property just because they purchased a product?

So the implication here is that the only reason @millercarbon had an exhilarating musical experience, nearly sending him into hyperventilation and perhaps on the verge of anaphylaxis was due SOLELY to the products provided by Krissy. Nothing else ... 
Tweaks - An Honest Discussion
