40th Anniversary Aqualung is KILLER
Tonykay, I think you've nailed it. 
sound difference MIT ORACLE AC1 vs ELROD vs PURIST
I spoke with David about the EPS-2 Sig on my amp. It's touted as a source PC, but he said it would work great on my Tube amp. And it does. In the same line of Signature series, the EPS-3 is for amps. So far the EPS-2 is doing fine. 
Down firing sub tweeks
I added a home made platform under my sub and it made a great improvement. I spiked the platform thru the carpet into the floor.I also added spikes between the sub and the platform. Much faster and more room filling. 
Veteran's Day

I just bought mine from Half.com . I hope the redbook is as good as you say it is. 
How do I run a sub
Just run a second set of speaker cables from the amp to the sub. 
sound difference MIT ORACLE AC1 vs ELROD vs PURIST
I second the Elrod. I have two feeding my system. One from the wall to my balanced conditioner on my source, the second from my second balanced conditioner to my amp.They seem to be very neutral. Mine are EPS-2 Signature's.You can get them used fo... 
I have a AC Regenerator. Get dedicated line too?
Alonski, it seems that Stanwall has answered the original question for you. Quote: I have tried cheaper one and it does make a difference.Your question is if anybody has A-B'd a regenerator with and without a dedicated line. Surely if a power cord... 
I have a AC Regenerator. Get dedicated line too?
A regenerator will not bennifit as much from a dedicated line. There might be bennifits from it, but the regenerator takes care of the ac on it's own.But... it can't hurt to have a dedicated line. 
impact of room treatment
Words will fall short on the benefits of room treatments.Imaging and focus will be the most noticeable improvements. If you use bass traps, the bass will be much more controlled. It's possibly the biggest upgrade you can make.I'd rather hear good ... 
Zu Omen or Tekton Lore
Jeff, it sound like the Pendragons are a lot of speaker for the money. It speaks volumes about a speaker that you once had, Sold for a much more expensive speaker and then came back to the same one. I'm glad you're enjoying them. I'll have to come... 
Lessloss DFPC Sig versus Shunyata CX and Nordost
I second the Elrod PC. I have two, one on the source, and one on the amp. They work great in my system, but one still needs to audition PC's in they're system to make a final call. I have noticed that the LessLoss sell very fast used. That speaks ... 
Lessloss DFPC Sig versus Shunyata CX and Nordost
In my oppinion, your going to have to try each one and let your ears make the choise. No one has the same system, you've been down this road before.:) 
Recommendations for monitor/bookshelf speakers
I highly recomend the Triangle Comete ES. It's about 17in tall and front ported. Very lively and well ballanced.You can get them used for around $500 here on Agon.Hope this helps. 
Seeking advice on how to improve my system
I agree with Rcrerar.The sound you hear from your system is not just components. It's a combination of your system and your room. It will be the biggest upgrade for the money.
