How often should you re-calibrate your ears?
We may be missing the point RCPrince made ... NJPAC/Avery Fisher/Carnegie are concert halls playing UN-amplified, live music where your ears get to hear an instrument without any mixing board in the way. I would think this is in fact, a reference ... 
Vandersteen Sub not enought punch???
Is it possible that your system would prefer the external high pass filter being set one setting up or down from the actual input impedance of your amplfier? Sometimes one step change can make a huge difference.Also, try the volume control in the ... 
CD players/DAC spitting SSS reproduction
Not sure if it is all in the recording as if you listen to an LP of the same song, sibilance is much reduced if not absent. Seems to me digital is adding to this effect. 
I need a speakercable that bring voices forward me
Might you re-position your listening chair slightly closer to the speakers by either moving the speakers further from the wall, or the chair closer to the speakers? 
Any feedback on the new B&W 802D's
Seems to me like the midrange has "gone away" in the new line. More top and more bottom, less music. 
Vandersteen 3A Sig vs. Von Schweikert VR4 Jr.
I will mention that to my ears the Vandersteens are closer to reality than most speakers - including those mentioned here. Obviously that is personal. Point is, I cannot answer it for you, nor can anyone else. Trust YOUR ears. 
One SS amp running hotter that the other,. . .
Might want to try switching the amps left to right and seeing if the same amp gets hot (problem with the amp) or the same channel gets hot (problem somewhere else). 
Meitner DAC6 and Sony 777ES
You can use any transport you would like to drive the DAC6 with regards to Redbook CD.You can only use the EMM Labs transports for SACD with the EMM DACs. The same thing is true for all SACD manufacturers as it is a licensing issue with Sony. 
CEC modifications - do they work?????
Are you sure the problems you are recounting are the problem of the transport? 
Harmonic Technology Cyberlight cables
What converts the signal to "light" and back again? How linear/ dynamic/ distortionless/ grainy etc are these devices, whatever they are? 
CEC modifications - do they work?????
I have used a TL-1X and am confused by the "bass production estimated between 80-120 cycle" comment ... can you explain what you are trying to say? Does it not go any lower than that frequency range? Does it roll off quickly below that frequency r... 
Speaker cables for Vandersteen 5As?
Have heard Kubala-Sosna Emotion used on these speakers to great effect. 
Managing stiff PC on lightweight component
Use a more compliant power cord. 
Multichannel amps that can drive low impedances?
Please see the following link - not all amps can drive a 1 ohm load.http://www.quadesl.org/Amplifiers/body_amplifiers.html 
Meitner DCC2 vs. Analog - Opinions Please
Bottom line is there is no digital rig that will be the equal of a good analog rig. Analog is the HIGHEST resolution source we have (it is infinite). The Shelter 90-X is a special cartridge and worth every penny.
