Is power cord upgrade now still necessary?
Not sure I understand what you are asking. But a power cable upgrade would possibly enhance the performance of the transport and since it is transport only, any improvements would be evident regardless of connection to the D/A. 
Help - How important is the center channel Amp?
I would say that untill you replace the rear channel speakers to voice match the fronts, I would go with a good 3 channel amp. Most of any shortcomings between the fronts and center you should be able to adjust them out with your pre/pro. You don'...

MoFi, Lynn is going to be madness for you. 
Subwoofer cable???
I am using the XLO Ultra on mine it did seem to add more voice. I had tried Monster and Audio Stream before. I asked Cardas, since I have a mostly Cardas system, and they said it really wasn't important due the frequencies involved. All I can say ... 
PS Audio Noise Harvester
I think it's too new. But I would be interested to see what you think. I would like to try some but my local dealer doesn't seem interested. Be sure and give us a review once you try them. 
Fixing a dent in a whoffer cone
Is the dent in the cone or the dustcover at the center of the cone? 
the garage
Consider that they originally came to the dealer in a truck, bouncing down a highway at 75mph or better. Before that they were shoved into a metal container that came from France across the high seas in more than humid conditions.Handeled by dock ... 
Are there any GOOD Dylan SACD remasters?
Bought the 15 disc set and find it very good. I feel some of the older releases were not as good as the newer, but that is to be expected. Maybe the BluRay audio format (if/when) will be better but the master tapes can only deliver so much resolut... 
Does UPS ever open and inspect packages?
No they do not open them. It is company policy to not open any packages. However that same policy does go on to provide the right at anytime to either lose or damage packages. My theory is UPS is an acronym for Unusualy Poor Service and there is a... 
Pink Floyd's Pulse DVD finally
Ditto on this end. Got my litho and watched the first disc and the special features of the second disc. Nicely done. The sound is very good. Now if they could come out with "The Delicate Sound of Thunder" I would estatic! 
Inexpensive amp for a McIntosh C46 Preamp
Another amp you may consider is Sherbourn, that company was started by some ex-McIntosh guys. That is a very good amp for the dough. 
Matching the center channel to the fronts
I would say with the 70/30-2channel/HT ratio in which you plan to use the speakers, go with the best 2 channel you can get and find Center that matches as closley as you can get. Keep in mind to consider the fronts that offer a center than you can... 
Inexpensive amp for a McIntosh C46 Preamp
You don't mention what your budget would be for the amp. I would try to find a good used Mc Amp here on AG. I have a MX135 and 2 Mc amps and think they belong together. What speakers will you be driving? I see MC162s listed all the time here on AG...

Shippack, if I can ask a question of your sub-conscience?The fact that you ran this thread might suggest that you are just looking for a new sound. To tweak it it somehow.You sound satisfied with your system and it is a Good system. You own some v...
