King of High Current Amps
I would suggest looking into Clayton Audio Amps. They have the M100, the S-2000 and the M-2000 depending on your needs. There website is www.claytonaudio.comSteve 
Anyone own or auditioned speakers by Legacy?
I own the Signature IIIs and haven't really considered changing and that's almost 4 years ago. There was a recent review of the Sig IIIs in Bound for Sound which the reviewer was listening to music again that he hadn't listened to for years. I hav... 
Preamp upgrade ARC LS5, SF Line 3, others?
I relatively new one on the market is the AE-3 DJH edition from AES. It's a significant upgrade from the standard AE-3. It's retails for $1200. Unfortunately, there are not a lot of places to purchase it from. You can get it from either Upscale Au... 
Superamp website
There used to be a www.superamp.com website that had the superamp plus all the other related AES equipment with direct purchase options. When you now load this website, it takes you to the Cary Audio website rather than to the superamp website. 
Headphone Amp for Portable CDP
I use the HeadRoom Little but with a twist. I run the portable CDP first into a TDS Passive Audiophile unit and then into the Little. I recently saw the TDS unit for sale on Audigon for less than 50% retail and if you picked up a used Little, you ... 
BAT VK-3i / BAT VK-30 or Herron VTSP-1A pre amp
Another one to consider is the new AE-3 DJH edition. I just ordered mine Friday and am looking forward to it. From Upscale Audio's website information and talking with Dennis at AES, it sounds like it sound be quite the preamp for $1200. 
Any Power Cord Recommendations For DACs?
I would recommend a Tekline PC-3W or PC-5W. There are a few demos on Audio Shopper for around $125. 
Better adapter for portable CD players?
Twisted Pair Design sells one. It is called the "Game Junkie". I use one on my portable cd player to my headroom Little and it was a signficant upgrade. 
Please help-cables, interconnects?
My system is mostly wire with ZCable ICs and as well as their speaker cable. The entry level jazz4 is a pretty fair price. I have been extremely satisfied with their products. 
What Cables - Cleaner Bass
I would recommend you try ZCable LIVE. 
Cryo your cables?
There has been a lot of discussion on this. Search on the Audio Asylum website for this. Also this was discuss in several issues of "Bound for Sound." 
Speaker Cable Recommendation
I would like to suggest trying ZCables Purple Passion or Black Magic cable. Not knowing you exact length, it may be close to staying within the budget. Their website is www.zcable.com 
Best Interconnects and/or Speaker Cable
I would have to suggest a new comer as well. I have my system all wired with ZCable's LIVE interconnects and they are just unbelievable. They are very detail but very natural. I also have their prototype BLACK MAGIC speaker cable and its very musi... 
Vote for best US made solid state amp
I would also go with the Clayton M70s. I picked up a pair about 2 months ago and these amps are unbelievable. 
DECWARE tube amp- Reciews? Experience?
PlanetHiFi did a review a few issues back. I would check it out. I only live about 45 miles from Peoria, where DecWare is based. I had Steve rebuild some woofers on an old pair of speakers. While I was there, I listened to his amplifier and was qu...
