Has anyone tried these stunning new CPT power cord?
@bacardi , Nano AuAg takes a minimum 150 hours of break-in so had it hooked up to old CRT TV for 8 days before listening.   Had in system for ~2 weeks now and sounds very good.    The modification was not very expensive.   If I gone with NCF conne...

Update on my modified CPT 300.I stumbled on Furutech FP-S55N / FP-S032N and Nanotec #308 Nano AuAg bulk power cables thanks to @fork. I have 6 made with Furutech NCF connectors. NCF connector is $400 each but worth it in comparison on same cable... 
Synergistic Red Fuse ...
Charles, I don’t know why many builders don’t use film caps in the power supply? Why they don’t use better internal wiring? Why they use such long signal paths? Why they don’t use breakers? Why many builders think one part sounds the same as anoth... 
What's with BAT?
I love to roll tubes but 6H30 sounds excellent in my ARCs so I just enjoy the music. 
KT150 Tube Matching
I recently purchased a "matched" quad of KT150 tubes from a well known, seemingly well respected tube vendor. My goal is not to bash him, but to educate myself. One of the "matched" tubes has a transconductance 20% under the average of the other...

One reason very wealthy people rarely have a high-end system may be that they aren’t as passionate about music as are we. 99% of my friends are not audiophiles and consider Bose high-end. At least 90% are NOT wealthy and majority live check to che... 
KT150 Tube Matching
When shopping for power tubes (NOT NOS), I look for dealers with higher quality and larger supply of tubes for a better match. Upscale states they pay extra for tubes with higher micromhos.  ARC is 2x price of Upscale ... don't think you can go ...

I got my modified CPT 300s back and after 8 days of break in, inserted in the system yesterday and very please with the results.   The mod is relatively inexpensive and will provide more details after more hours on them.

What sensible audiophile would pay 100K for an amp, even if he could afford it? Or maybe that's the wrong question. I don't have any idea who would pay 100K for an amp, do you? Does that deep pocket audiophile plan to buy a 100K amp when he upgra...

orpheus10  Now we seem to have an abundance of 20K tonearms, and 10K cartridges, plus speakers and amps costing over 100K. Personally, I don't believe their systems sound any better than a long time audiophile's rig who has spent a lifetime obtai... 
Resale value
I'm not an impulse buyer so whatever I buy, plan to keep for a while so resale value is not a factor in my purchasing decision.When time to sell, I'm comfortable with the losses.   I'm worth it! 
Selling speakers to a buyer in Russia?
I sold 2 pairs of AQ Sky ICs to a buyer in Russia.   Once it arrived in Russia, took several months before reaching final destination.   Service is very very slow.  I totally forgot about it until the buyer emailed me after it arrived.Due to weig...

Thieliste, not sure you want to hear this, however, each time I pull up Thiel 3.7 or 7.2 on YouTube, nearly every video there was krell on these speaker’s, I mind you, they sounded damn good to me, I understand opinions are just that, an opinion ...
