alternative to speaker stand spikes?
I think most hardware stores carry bolts with rubber tips on one end. I bought some like this for some Meadowlarks I once had on a hardwood floor. Linn Skeets are great if you want to spend a little more. 
My new Accuphase 408 is lacking ......
If it's brand new, it probably needs some "burning in" time. Give it about 100 hours of playing, probably will sound much better.

Better AM reception.... any ideas?

ATC SCM-7 Monitors. How do they sound?
Used to own a pair. Some of the best small monitors available. They are very accurate, midrange and vocals to die for. The only problem with ATC 7 and 12 is you need to turn up the volume to get them sounding their best. There was recently a pair ... 
I need a warm sounding power cord.
Check here:http://cgi.audiogon.com/cgi-bin/cl.pl?cablpowr&1114433526decent cord. I think it may be just what you are looking for. 
Naim CD5i vs. Linn Genki ?
Never heard either of these, but have had a few other Naim CD players (currently),and a Linn Classik. Also various Linn and Naim preamps/amps.I think the Naim will be more punchy and forward, the Linn will be a little more laid back. Both are grea...
