Wifi vs USB
I am streaming wirelessly from my music server (iMac 24 - 1TB) set up in my office, to the system down the hall - using the Modwright Transporter.Sound seems to be at least the equal if not better than the AMR CD-77. Srajan of 6moons felt the same... 
Preamps w/HT BYPASS that works when preamp is OFF.
The Dodd Battery Powered Preamp HT bypass works when the unit is off. 
Remote Control of Itunes
Yes, this is possible. I run iTunes on an iMac 24" and control it via my Macbook Pro via screen share. Very simple to do. 
what is the best Holly Cole CD?
I would have to vote for Temptation as well. 
fathom f113 vs. 2 velo. dd-10 s
Heard the f113 compared to the Velo DD18...I own two F113's. I don't think you could go wrong with these. 
H20 Revisited
Rlf: My apologies for not noticing your question earlier. I am not certain if Henry is offering a Special Edition on the stereo model. You may want to inquire with a phone call.Don_s: The V-Caps are the TFTF's.

Anyone compared Tesla Precision Ref vs. Apex?
Let's put any price difference aside for the moment.For the sake of comparison... the Apex I/C and Prec. Ref. I/C were voiced quite differently, in my experience.I don't think there is a "significantly better" per say, rather one cord or the other... 
Anyone compared Tesla Precision Ref vs. Apex?
Yes. They are voiced very different. The Prec. Ref is an upgraded Accelerator. It is very neutral and fast.The Apex is an upgraded Acoustic Ref and is a bit warmer and bigger sounding with more body.SR recommends the Prec. Ref. from preamp to amps... 
H20 Revisited
I have owned a pair of the H2o Signature Mono's in the past, and now currently have the H2o Singature Mono Special Edition's.These are Henry's all out assault on what he can do in a pair of mono's. Henry is using the V-Caps in these monos as well ... 
Two-level / back row seating in a home theater
The rear riser is 14" tall. Thus one step up at 7" to the platform. This also allows you to see over the heads of the front row while in reclined position.Make certain to reinforce the risers, and fill with insulation. Otherwise you will have a ve... 
Cheap tweak from Virtual Dynamics:
Another FYI - know your speaker when you do this. I have the Meadowlark Audio Blue Heron 2's, and I know for a fact there are layers of 'keldamp' between the drivers and the front baffle... this is a type of elastomer that helps to decouple the re...
