Symphonic Line Klangquelle with RB1070 vs RG10
Go for the integrated.It eliminates an IC and makes life simpler. 
cayin A70T vs. Rogue Cronus vs. Prima Luna PL2
Can highly recommend the PrimaLuna PL2.Many who have heard this unit at my home,have gone out and gotten their own.Straight out of the box (stock tubes),it is a little solidstate-ish,but rolling the 12ax/au yields positive results.Not sure that fi... 
CD/DVD Player with variable output volume control?
Add a D-to-a converter. 
shrill high end? help, setup? triplaner
Had you tried adding more VTF? This usually affects the top and bottom. 
DAC as an upgrade
Either the co-ax or optical will interface with most DACs.I prefer the co-ax.There are specialty digital cables to experiment with,but in a pinch any standard RCA cable will work. 
Adcom GFA-545 - Modify or Move On?
2nd Somec59s' comments.The Stratos is much better and you will probably improve your imaging using a single amp. 
Vandersteen 2CE's
Keep an eye out for a well priced McCormack DNA-1 amp or one of it's incarnations.These amps put out about 175W/ch.Have heard this combo and it is very good.

Sounds like some tube-rolling might be in your future. 
MC phono stage without transformer?
What is the voltage output of your cartridge? 
solder-Eutechnic,Wonder,WBT??
Thanks to Rodman99999,Albert_Porter,Dfhaleycko,Prcinka-for the WBT recommendation.I am still waiting for the caps,inductor,wiring and woofers to break-in,but as of this moment there is no brightness.Extremely easy to work with and a low melting po... 
Sanders ESL Power Amp & Mono blocks
Kiwi 1282001, Yes,still the Gamut CD3. Roger had a local designer build his iTube units and had him working on a tube pre.I believe that whole deal fell apart after Roger no longer controlled Innersound.Only 3-4 iTubes were built.I believe Roger h... 
Sanders ESL Power Amp & Mono blocks
Had the ESL amp.It was spectacular with a digital source.Fed by analog,it never had the magic.I understand that Roger uses digital as his source.I understand that there were problems with the Kilo-watt amps.I had read HPs' review and took a listen...
