Mapleshade Golden Helix Vs Double Helix
I have Golden Helix and Double Golden Helix Plus and to me it's definitely worth the difference. Plus it's easy to buy/sell used. 
$1,500 Amp budget - Best options?
I was amazed at the sound of Odyssey Khartago Extreme SE on my fiends Dali MS4, amp was filling in for Thor tube mono blocks. And the Odyssey is even under your budget new. 
ARC LS25 with PASS X250 - bad match? Seems bright.
I used an ARC LS25ll with Pass X250 without any brightness issues, and thought it was a great combination. Have alsoi owned a Dacmagic and agree it is not up to the quality of the Pass or ARC.

What is the best power cord for pass labs xa100.5?
Different preferences? 
Best speaker for under 2gs
Aerial 8b and 7b both currently available. Great speakers. 
Pass XP-10 and Jeff Rowland Capri pre
I love my Capri with Pass X250.5. Capri replaced ARC LS25ll. Optional Phono stage is great too. haven't heard the XP-10.

On the other hand, does Pass want to increase the costs of their amps by including an expensive ultra high quality cord, knowing the owner will quite possibly change the cord anyway... 
What is the best power cord for pass labs xa100.5?
Excellent points, and well said Byron. Also want to mention that buying and selling used power cords on Audiogon is very inexpensive, and they will be going on $18,000.00 mono blocks. Clearly worth finding out if power cords can improve the sound ...

I have used Tekline Reference on my Pass amps, always liked it better than the Pass cord. 
Unusual TAS bomb
Chayro, I was thinking the same thing while I was reading. The reviewer suspected that, returned it for repair, and found no difference in the returned one! 
TEAC PD-H600 CD PLAYER HOWS IT SOUND
I liked the Teac so much at it's closeout/used price that I bought two. 
the quest for the best--within limits
I don't think they mean best literally, but are asking for members favorites, to start a short list for exploring. 
Mapleshade Double Helix Speaker Cables
I have always used them uncoiled. 
Modded Cambridge Audio 550C player. Rating??
I would suggest a much longer break-in before you decide.
