Which Solid State Amplifier is Making you Happy?
A bit over your budget, but take a look at the new Boz 216/2200 amplifier(tactaudio.com). It will give you the control you're looking for, and adding another 2200 in the future will allow you to biamp your speakers.

PS Audio "Gain Cell" Amps & Preamps?
"I have just finished my evaluation of the GCC-250 for The Stereo Times. It should be published in about a month. I don't want to let the cat out of the bag, but let's just say that my review will present an interesting contrast to Mr. Ho's."Gee-P... 
Mating power cords with APL 3910
Puremusic- a cost effective way to isolate your 3910 is the ISO-21 from ESP. For "value-per-dollar" power cords check out the Supra LoRad. I agree with Sean, that there doesn't appear to be much in the way of outlet to outlet or AC line isolation ... 
Thoughts about these forums
"2) The same issues are raised time and again, people don't bother to search the archives. I suppose it's easier to start a new thread rather than do a search."It would help if Tech talk was sub divided into categoies like: AC power conditioners/t... 
Denon DP-S1: any experience with it?
It's a wonderful transport. I haven't heard the transports you mention, but it more than holds it's own against the current Esoteric units and my Theta. Using the ST glass output, the bass response is among the best I've heard from Redbook. Only w... 
HELP Which wall of new room to put system on?
Depending on how tall your speakers are, I'd go with wall with the sloping ceiling. You should also consider where you're going to place your equipment rack/stand. If you look at the virtual systems section, you see that over 95% of them have equi... 
Used Rowland 302 or H2O Signatures CD Direct
"Those who are particularly fond of going direct to the amp, they should look elsewhere for their amp."Muralman1- excellent point. That's why I went with TacT amps....no preamp or DAC is required, and now their new models eliminate the need for a ... 
What class "D" Amps Excel at inner detail
"As a side note I have heard the tact audio amps do this well." Drhst20 - I've heard the Bel Canto and Spectron, and you are correct about the TacT's superior inner detail. You should check out the new Boz amp or TDA2200 and consider biamping your... 
Used Rowland 302 or H2O Signatures CD Direct
Muralman1- Hopefully Henry will still be in business a year from now and your amps will still be functioning. I nevered owned an Magnavox console, but I sure my mom leaves me her RCA stereo console. ;-)PS- Supra LoRad is a better sounding shield p... 
Used Rowland 302 or H2O Signatures CD Direct
I'd go with the Rowland. There's a lot greater chance they'll stay in business, and protect your resale value.

Reviews of the year/Lugs Update/Jazz
Ben-Your welcome. FYI the first CD on BobP's current list is wonderful sounding recording, which once again demonstrates that PCM is superior to Sony's dying DSD technology.

General transport Question
Jlambrick- I agree with you on the benefits of reclocking. Where can one find more information on the Tent X3?
