I have a AC Regenerator. Get dedicated line too?
Alonski, yes, I know about the Wave Mechanical motor controller. I will surely get it in the future, from the UK for almost half the price here in the US.But first I need that Purepower thing for the entire system. 
Power Cord brands mixing. "Your Opinions"
You match a power cord and the component, generally speaking. In some cases there might be synergy if using the same brand especially if all your components are the same brand too.Anyway, if I could put something like Purist Limited on every compo...

Amp suggestion for Merlins?
Depends on the sound you seek. I bet Gryphon Callisto 2200 would drive them extremely well, but the sound would be different from if driving with Manley. Much more dynamic and transparent, I guess. It is a very rare piece, listed here for $4000 no... 
Which power amplifier match audio research ref 3
LAMM hybrid might do it too. 
Do You Love Music or Do You Love Hi-Fi?
$10000 would not get you a reference system, not even close. $100000 would, maybe. I agree with the rest of your statement though. 
Purist Audio Design Character and tone
Skip the Musaeus if you want to try Purist for newer Aqueous or Venustas if you can. I am not familiar with the totally revised Elementa; it can be good. But you know, before you might want to do that, give DiMarzio M-path interconnects and Super ... 
Complete newbie needing guidance/purchase advice
$5000 buys a very good system. Used of course except possibly a cartridge.I would wait until this $5k are actually available and buy the entire system at once. Patience is a great virtue. If you do it piece by piece, most likely you will screw it ... 
Interconnects for cd player
Some would say Echole cables and forget the rest.I never tried them.

Too bad my Nottingham table's motor has a captured power cord. Maybe I could use an adapter to be able to add a good power cord. 
MC versus MM. Which to choose.
If they do this with piano they should also do it with voice and acoustic guitar. There is an opinion that MMs have more impact and coherence, and MCs are faster and have more resolution. These are general statements. 
MC versus MM. Which to choose.
So why do some still prefer MM? They must have certain qualities to go after that MC just cannot have or can but at very high price point. 
Do You Love Music or Do You Love Hi-Fi?
Hi-Fi of course. Music is just structured noise made tolerable to hear by great equipment. Musicians and music industry in general are the lowliest occupations I can imagine. Anyone agrees with me? 
Mono blocks that can provide that golden sound...
Yeah, well, I think you just have to find a way to keep the amps you have. As much as I like Lamm, I would see no point of getting them unless you actually like their sound with your speakers more than with Pass. 
Echole cables
Ebm, get out of my thread, please.
