Isolation platform - Gingko vs Mapleshade
My take is exactly the same as Mattmiller's . 
Parasound Zamp v.3 Runs Too Hot
Never buy an amp not rated stable to 2 Ohms. 
who has the best recommended product reviews
NO American source is reliable .Try audio.de 
Hegel H300
I heard a H300 lately and IMO for all practical purposes hard to see how an amp could sound better.No doubt that's the ship weight.

Amen, O-10, AMEN.He will be in heavy rotation in my prayers for a long time.

I read Bob Parlocha passed on the 15th, age 76.Feels like a friend has died. 
Which Turntable??
Japanese DD tables from the bigger firms, Sony, Pioneer,Sansui , Technics, Yamaha, Luxman, Micro-Seki, back in the 70's had the best QC ever seen in audio.Top of the lines were works of art. 
Amps under $5k that are resolving at low volumes?
Maggies are about big soundstage , no more, no less. 
Metal-base and non metal-base 5AR4/GZ34?
If you listened to the real deal for decades, very unlikely you will find any "re-issue" worthy of listening to. 
Cullen Crossover Power Cables
I agree with Don P. 
Full range drivers with piezoelectric tweeters
Most Gallo speakers do this and are among best on market. 
Why are Voodoo Cables not seen on Audiogon used?
ZU has probably sold 3 thousand times as much wire as Voodoo in last 5 years and you see very little of it on hereconsidering amount they sold.

Pray for me, Cassandra Wilson is at the Dakota in Mpls, tonight and I can't get a ticket-SOB ! 
Rockport Avior or Magico S5
My only rich friend has Magico 5's with Lamm pre and amp plus 30 K worth of MIT wire ,a 50K TT with a 8K MC.Sounds OK. 
Which Turntable??
If I have to take a new TT to a tech to check the bearings I ain't buying it. YMMV
