Replace amp or speakers ?
If I replace the amp, then replacing speakers may not be in near future, could take longer, all depends. I've heard Rowland Concentra II and Model 112 with Audio Physic Virgo's and Cary 306/200 and it was excellent.Warren, I'm happy with my 330i e...

Speakers for Simaudio Moon I-5
A friend of mine has Mon I-5 and Nova cd player and he is driving Totem Hawk floorstander and it sounds excellent. The bass is so good that he sold his subwoofer after a week or so. 
PS Audio Xstream digital cable. Any users?
I'm using it for almost a year now. I think it's one of the best digital cables for the money. You can find one around $125~$150. Try to audition one if you can. 
Help with finding rear speakers...
Try some used Paradigm ADP's or Atom. 
Ground loop isolator question ?
Thanks, Hhiggins. I thought about cable causing the hum also but did not check that yet. I'll check that. 
Using RCA & XLR connections at same time on Amp
Audioengr -- That's the reason I bought PCA-2 pre-amp, so I've excellent 2ch with HCA-2 and use HT bypass when I use the processor for home theater combining with a 3ch amp. 
Using RCA & XLR connections at same time on Amp
I've done something similar, it works but sound quality varies, which I think was due to impedance mis-matching.I've used PS HCA-2 which is balanced and have both RCA and XLR inputs. I've hooked up my Wadia 301 using XLR to XLR of HCA-2 and front ... 
Audio Physic Tempo ?
Thank you, that really helps. I have one box, just wanted to confirm that I'm missing one. Just got the dimensins wrong 22x16x46, now it makes sense. 
What is more important ? Need some advice.
Basically all of you are for better resolution than the power regenerator. Run the Wadia with high volume whether its through a pre-amp or using attenuation. I've decided to sell the P-500 and get a pre-amp and go back to pwr regen later when I've... 
What is more important ? Need some advice.
Thanks for all the comments. I'd like to stay with XLR connection as both 301 and HCA-2 are balanced design. I'm thinking about selling P-500 and get the matching PCA-2 and have a balanced system and do something about the power later when things ...
