I agree Vvrinc, anyone who says "trust me" or gives elaborate explanations of why they should be trusted...Run away!Merry CHristmas everyone! 
Upgrade Audio Aero Prima with mods?
That is a tough question, and I tend to agree with Tvad but... GNSC can do some great things with digital. I havent heard a GNSC modded Prima though, so take what I say with a grain of salt. I personally consider the "other modder" you mention a s... 
Looking to downgrade...possibly
I would look at Arcam, B & K, and Rotel Receivers. In that order. You may have to forgo HDMI switching (I find it useless any way, as I only have two video sources. One is Component and the other is HDMI) 
CDP's that have Digital Inputs
Resolution Audio Opus 21 too! 
VD Revelation Speaker cables -
You're right it shouldn't be difficult. The last time I spoke with them (VD that is) they seemed to be willing to make some "act now" deals. Which, IMO, is better than a "take it or leave it deal." I can understand your suspicion. However, poor sa... 
VD Revelation Speaker cables -
Snook, maybe your tire kicking was sniffed out and properly dismissed! I have received nothing but thoughtful and very forthright service from my many interactions with Virtual Dynamics. (albeit with much lower priced cabling)Though the pricing is... 
Denon 2910 video quality
I had the 2910 and now the 3910. I think they're close but, I think the 3910 does a slightly better job. With video that is. Having said that, I could be happy with either, if video were my only concern. 
My Jolida 100 skips even on new cds. How to fix?
When I had a Jolida it would play a dog frisbee. I mean the worst, most beat up, scratched up terd of a CD, would play just fine.....and it sounded great too!Based on my experience I say somethings amiss, probably a dirty PU or a sluggish assembly... 
HT reciever help
I just looked on the back of the AVR-200 I am currently using and it has a 5.1 input (only one though). 
HT reciever help
Easy Arcam AVR-200, sounds great, and its at the low end of your budget ~$600.00 used. I cant remeber if it has 5.1 inputs for DVD-A /SACD (i think it does) I only use SACD and in 2 channel only. 
What is the best $1000 CD Player?
My vote ....Resolution Audio CD-55, probably at least 1200.00 though =( 
HT system with Best Possible Redbook perfornance
For Best Redbook 2 channel, I would chose Arcam over B & K (its way smoother to my ear) and I wouldn't bother with a universal player (unless it was modded unit). For the source I would opt for a decent used CDP ($600 to $800) and buy a cheape... 
Prepro for B&W/Krell combo?
A good Pre/Pro will vastly improve your sound. I would recommend a Bryston but the XLR-in requierment kills that. It's easily my favorite and I prefer it strongly. I hate to sell mine but life has demanded I simplify. I dont recall if the EAD 8800... 
Picking a mid-tier HT receiver for optimal audio
I am currently trying out an Arcam AVR200. Its really quite nice. 2 channel is smooth with a nice emphasis on the mids. Good resolution on mids. Surprisingly good resolution on highs, albeit somewhat rolled off. Bass is predictably less coherent t... 
EAD 8800 bass management
YesYesPossiblyI agreeL/R Large with Center/Rears Small. I would set the Xover as low as possible and move up if needed.Thats a nice system! BTW.
