NYC Repair of Revox B795 direct drive turntable
Stereo Exchange has a very good service department. They should have no problem fixing it. 
Amp Choice for new PSB X2T Tower Speakers?
I had the Naim. Hugely overrated. Didn't care for it at all. The newer MF gear is very solid state sounding. No way you would ever mistake it for a tube amp. I don't think it would be a good match for your metal tweeters. What's your budget? 
has BAT priced itself out of the market?
"Just add more educated and professional BS to convince such as "Just listen and Trust Your Own Ears"."Why would that be bad advice? Doing it that way lets the product stand on its own merits."has BAT priced itself out of the market?"That's the be... 
Best CD transport?
I have no idea how good they are but I was thinking that a CD player for professional use may have good transports in them. Something like a radio station may use, or something similar. Places like Guitar Center have good return policies. It may b...

CONNECT iPAD TO DAC VIA USB CAMERA KIT - POSSIBLE?
You won't hurt anything if you try it. Try plugging the ipad in and see if that helps. If not, maybe try a good quality usb hub. 
Any suggestions where to find used pair B&W 801D?
Your best chance, by far, is on this web site. If not, then try some dealers. Maybe they took some in on trade or have a demo pair for sale. Be prepared to drive, though. B&W is absolutely crazy when it comes to shipping anything. Even if its ... 
help with my sub and settings
"I was after a more punchy, powerful, tight kick in the chest bass sound. Instead, I'm getting too much of a low end frequency tone. (a sound that while powerful would be more enjoyed by a hip hop, rap music fan would like.)"That's why they call i... 
High End Tube Gear Transition to High End SS

Selecting Amplifier for Vienna Acoustics Speakers.
I had the Naim integrated and was not impressed at all with it. You can do far better with something else.I would go with the Primare or the MBL. If you are in a position where you can't demo the gear first, I feel its too chancy to get an amp and...
