Phono stage--please help
Try and find an Audio Research PH 3 hybrid phono preamp. This puppy will bring the ANALOG out of your records with aplomb! I am using one and am very pleased with the resultant musical bliss that it can produce. This unit can later be upgraded to ... 
Info on Monster Alpha Genesis 500
I am currently using a Monster Sigma Genesis 2000 cartridge that I purchased from Audio Advisor as part of a VPI HW-19 Mk. III/SME 309 table combo. It is/was Monster's top-of-the-line cartridge which, as the gentleman mentioned above, was sold exc... 
successor to Adcom Gcd750
Keep the Adcom as a transport and try out the Perpetual Technologies P1-A, P3-A DSP upsampler and DAC, respectively (if you are interested in upsampling and 24/96). I have heard this combo at my buddy's place and it rivals and in some ways is bett... 
Transport Help
Try a Muse Model Five which goes for about $500-$800 used. It is an attractive, solidly built, musical transport. I am running one in I2S mode with its companion DAC, the Muse Model Two Plus. It is a formidable combo! 
Accuphase Clean Power Supply
Absolutely! Save your money and try out the PS Audio Power Plants!!! They have three models in production: P300, P600, P1200. Go to www.psaudio.com and read all about them! I am running a P300 for my front-end components and a P600 for my amps (2 ... 
Power cord recommendation needed
Try PS Audio's Lab cable. It is extremely heavy duty and doesn't impart any sound of its own to the music. What more can you ask for?

Take the grills off and hear the music, dude! 
PS Audio or Richard Grey power Co.

What makes / defines an audiophile ?
Any idiot that can't enjoy the music and is constantly obsessed with his Hi-fi gear. (i.e. don't become one)!

Do it and don't look back!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 
I Have PS300 - Do I need Power Cords??
Power cords carrying power from the PP300 to your gear are more critical in my personal experience than a power cord running into the PP300. However, I am doing both using Cardas Golden Cross into my PP600 and Cardas Quadlink 5C to my amplifiers w... 
Indoor FM Antenna Recommendations??
The Fanfare FM-2G works quite well for only $89.95. 
Recommendations: poor college kid; NAD?
I have an NAD 304 integrated amplifier for sale that is PERFECT electrically, mechanically, physically and sonically. Check Audiogon classifieds under Amplifiers, solid state. This unit will serve you well on a budget. 
PS Audio Smoke and Mirrors?
No way man! No smoke and mirrors here! I have a P300 and have a P600 on order to power my amplifiers. There is plenty of physics to explain what is going on here. Your ears, of course, are the final measuring tool and believe me, it doesn't take g...
