PS Audio Ultimate Outlet--Holy Smokes
Matt - I've recently become a PS Audio convert as well. I started out with a P300 Powerplant and was very pleasantly surprised. I've since added an Ultimate Outlet and a UPC200 HB and it mirrors your experience. 
Processor for Audio Refinement Multi-5 power amp
You might take a look at the Arcam AVP700. It's in your price range, and has HDMI switching and its audio side is absed on the higly acclaimed AVR300 receiver.

Bryston vs. PS Audio
PS Audio has a 30 day in-home audition. Get both and then if you like the Bryston combo, return the PS Audio. If you like the PS Audio, sell the Bryston. You might take a hit since you have to cover shipping, but at least you'll have heard both an... 
MF Tri Vista or Nu Vista Amp or Pathos Logos
I've got a NuVista 300 amp and I've never had hum problems through the speakers or with the amp itself. It is a great amp if you can find one. 
Where Is Musical Fidelity When You Need Them?
I've had an amp in for repair with them coming up on two months now. Rick is the technical director and has been having some health problems in his family, so I am cutting him more slack than normal. The authorized dealers in the US are not permit... 
Tube Home Theater PreAmp?

Help finding Hi End in Denver

Acappella/Vocal Jazz/Gospel recommendations?
Ditto on the Ben Harper CD - highly recommended. Also check out the Persuasions CDs. Live in the Whispering Gallery and the latest SACD in which they do covers of Beatles' songs are probably the best recorded, but I am a big fan of all of their mu... 
Apogee Duetta Signature or Mini Grand?
While I think both would be excellent choices, I would go with the Duetta Sigs. The bass from the subwoofers for the MiniGrands leave a little to be desired. 
Subwoofer for under $1000-new, used, or DIY
I am very pleased with the Paradigm Servo-15 I'm using now. There is also a great sub that was just listed - a Muse18. He's asking $999 which is a very good price. If you are close enough to keep the shipping costs low, it would be a great option. 
What PC with Clayton M100 ?
I'm using the Nordost Shiva with my S-40 and am very pleased with it. The seller warned me not to even try using the stock cord as it would not give near the best performance I could get out of the amp.
