Power Strip
Thanks for the kind words Chayro. I have a purepower 2000 on the front end but intend to install a dedicated line for my power hungry monoblocks and need 4-5 outlets so want to run this line to a high quality power strip with no filtering. Surpris...

Thanks all for the recommendations. I will check these out. 
Tube Mono-Block Recommendation
I think if you can at least audition them, consider the Audiopax Model 88 amplifiers. I have been a strong supporter of Audiopax for a number of years. They fly below the radar but are excellent amps.

Likewise. I am so happy with the MMtwos. Not even sure I will get the additional woofers to move to MMthrees. Running them with Audiopax 100w SET mono blocks and they are sounding great. 
analog sounding DAC?
Depending on budget try and audition one of Alex Peychev's (APL HiFi) new stand alone DACs. The DAC-S or DAC-M. I recently received the DAC-M and it is jaw droppingly good. I know I sound like a shrill with my own player but it really is superb.

Is the phono amp grounded separately? Have you tried removing this ground?

PurePowerAPS Canada concern
I am going to purchase from them shortly. Currently own the old model PP2000 which has been superb. Sorry to hear about the above as I have always experienced great customer service. 
Underrated jazz greats
I know many complain about the new Audiogon but I hope that people remain involved if only for threads like this which are invaluable for discovering new music. Thanks to all for posting. I will be purchasing several CDs or LPs based on this thread. 
Life of a PS Audio PowerPlant??
Interesting. You defend vigorously PS Audio Units but seem determined to cast dispersions on Purepower. You are either a dealer, work for the manufacturer or have a hidden agenda. 
Beware purepower inc
How do you arrive at the conclusion that Purepower have reliability with their units? Do you know the total number of units that Purepower have sold and the number of repairs in the field? Or alternatively are you making a conclusion and a sweepin... 
Ocellia cables IC why not much talk?
Another surprise (not). A thread on interconnects and Sabai pipes up yet again about how amazing his HiDiamond cables are.
