Dedicated lines- need break in?
Excellent idea Musicslug! Now to decide what piece of music the OP will use. 
how to side-grade from B&W 805's?
I was in your position and I would highly consider looking at the Dynaudio Contour S1.4. It is fast, detailed and goes deeper than you would expect for a monitor speaker. The bass is taught and tight. The S1.4 uses the very highly regarded Esotar ... 
Anyone auditioned the Cardas Clear? I have....
He is making a guess. Impossible to know every nuance of any system. It was clear to me:) 
Dedicated lines- need break in?
Cables should have been connected to a cable baker and ran 24/7 for 1 week then gently massaged with magic sound inforcer and then sprayed with Mapleshade EMI/RFI line reducer then coiled and recoiled to line up the electrons to north/south bias t... 
Marantz Sa8001 vs higher models.
Stereophile did a review of the SA-8001 in 2007 and said it bettered the venerable SA-15s1 and Benchmark Dac. Excelent construction with a wide deep soundstage and one of the best redbook players available, and fantastic with SACD discs. I have mo...

Any Michael Bub'le fans.......
Been a fan for about 4 years. He is very Refreshing in a pleasant way. Not as packaged and overpromoted like many today. His lastest CD was done in the studio with all musicians present... No overdubs or special gimmicks. If someone made a mistake... 
How do I dampen my listening environment?
How do get a mirror that big into you listening space?>) 
The best digital audio out of coaxial, or optical?
I use glass optical and coax interchangably and have not noticed any more changes than one would experience by trying two different cables of the same type but made by two different mfg's. These days they are all very good once you get past entry ... 
best monitor speaker under $2000
Dynaudio Contour S1.4's are a Great value. Sound is tight with lots of air and bass goes lower than you would believe for a stand mount. They sound great with all types of music, from classical to bluegrass. I love them with jazz and acoustic guit... 
System worthy of XLR IC? If so, any recs?
+1 with Dlcockrum 
Any Blu Ray players made in the USA?
