Help w/ PS Audio GPCH set-up
I would start with the 42db gain, then try the 48db if it isn't enough. The load should be set at 47k. 
Rega P3-24: Is the upgrade power supply worth it?
Yes. One of the best, most cost effective ugrades you can do. 
New Magnepan 1.7 R

Mono Amps
Looking at the owners manual and the back of the unit, I don't think you can bridge the GFA5500. Seems to be (2) channel stereo only. Maybe they could be sent in to rewire to mono, but they are not user switchable. 
Sundsmith rebuild.
SoundSmith has done a couple for me...EXCELLENT! Both of mine were the $250.00 rebuilds. 
Which one do I buy Pre Ject Debut III or Rega P1??
I agree with Wendell, however the Rega has the better arm. If you could swing the few extra dollars, buy the Rega P2.

Best Christmas Album
I really like the "A Very Special Christmas" series. Various artists from rock, pop, country etc. I have all of them so far. 
heard Melody Gardot?
I have all of her releases on CD and vinyl. I think she is wonderful. She came back from a very horrible accident and accomplished this.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Melody_Gardot 
C.J. PV-5 vs PV-10's 11's and 12's
I've owned both the PV-5 and PV-10. The PV-5 is the better sounding of these two. The 11 and 12 I've heard, but never in my system. 
any good mat for a rega p9?
I have a Living Voice "Mystic Mat" on my fully upgraded Rega P25 and love it. These are really expensive, but IMHO worth it. 
Rega p-5 cart upgrade
Just remember if you use any other cartridge than a Rega, you will probably have to change the VTA setting. This can only be done with spacer(s).http://www.audioadvisor.com/prodinfo.asp?number=RE700SPAC 
Who has the oldest bottle of Stylast?
I finally threw away my at least 20 year old bottle of Stylast because it had crud floatin' around in it. I broke down and opened a new bottle.
