Help with deciding on a small power conditioner
I'm nuts about the BPC products- I've owned several. BPC was offering an "Audiogon Special CPC" that is a GREAT unit. If that's still available I'd call Chris Hoff at Balanced Pwer Technologies and JUMP on it. 
Exemplar Denon 2900 Tube Rolling
I'm using Mullard 7062's in mine...sweet. I also have- for backup- a pair of NOS Amperex 7062's,a pair of Phillips E180CC, a pair of GE 12 AV7's and a pair of Tung-Sol 5965's. The Tung Sol and GE's don't sound as good as the 7062 or E-180CC, but w... 
Stereo stand with adjustable shelves
Particular Basis is what I use...I absolutely love it. I had Lovan, various Salamander racks before. They were fine, but the Particular rack is infinitely adjustable, beautiful, and functional. I chose to buy Neuance platforms for each level to re... 
Chinese Loudspeakers ARE GOOD
I agree with most things stated...except the nuclear power thing. Look into the Chinese bomb and you'll learn it wasn't just brainpower that took them nuclear.And yes, our bombs are better :)

question for Gallo Ref owners
Running them with a Cary SLI-80 Signature will yield exactly what you seem to seek. The Cary can be obtained used for around $2,000 US, is easy to bias and takes a wide compliment of tubes. 
Isolation platform under US 500 for CDP
Neuance is a fabulous product. I have one under my Exemplar 2900 and another under my Manley Preamp.Noticeable improvement in focus and transparency. 
Silver vs Copper cables
Dean- If I had Halle Berry cables I'd just spend all my time checking connections. Snug fit? Check. Recheck.Oh yeah- I like copper cables better. 
About Lugnut -- Patrick Malone
Ben- Congratulations on the birth of your boy! A fine name indeed :) 
tube linestage suggestions
The AE-3 is great. If you can score a Manley Shrimp that's a KILLER. 
$1000 used amp. What can I buy?
I know you said "maybe $1,500"...go a little more and score a Pass X-150 and you will probably be stunned with the performance.Good luck, and have fun. 
Tube amp recommendation for Gallo Reference 3's
Driving mine gloriously with Conrad Johnson MV-60. Highly recommended! 
Fingers Crossed That Julius Makes Me A Parlando
I did business with Julius years ago- what a great guy. So honest and helpful I still remember it 2o years later!Enjoy! 
I'm done Really
