Cryo a power cord?
More bogus pseudoscience for the neurotic and gullible!  
What Bookshelf / Stand Mounted Speakers To Pair With Vintage Electronics?
How about a pair of AR4's with rebuilt crossovers? Mine sound quite fine and didn't cost much! Back in the day (60's - 70's) they were highly rated! And would match well with the 810's power. 
TT mats
Hiraoka Diskmat SE22! Yes, it's vintage and I bought it brand new from Harvey Sound, NYC back in 1978! $20! Still in use on my Ariston RD11S! I have yet to see a better-made and sounding mat than this! 
interconnect XLR cables Valhalla Nordost or Reference XL Transparent?
Flip a coin! 
Anyone Upgrade NAD D 3020 Power Cable?
It would be great to live in a world where changing a piece of wire improved sound quality. Alas ... 
Which tubes do I change??
What preamp do you have? And your source - analog or digital?  
Looking for the best moving coil cart that is around $5K used
Look for a brand-new Koetsu for about $2500 and give the rest to your financial advisor! 
Which one
+1 Marantz 7! Designed by Sid Smith - who also designed the Model 8 and 9 tube amps. 
Decca London Reference- SME V, FR 64s or FR 64 fx?
The best tonearm for the Decca might be the Sony Active Arm - it can compensate for the different vertical and horizontal compliances of the Decca better than any conventional arm! It can tame the wayward tracking inherent in the suspension design!   
Jazz for aficionados
Jeez, what a long thread! Nobody's mentioned the BEST out-there sax player of today: Peter Brotzmann! Checkout "Machine gun"! Plenty of his recordings available on vinyl from the Bay! 
I picked up a ROKU, I am wanting to cut the Cable TV cord.
Broadcast TV s**ks! All the best shows are only available on the cable/satellite/telecom pipeline! For this you have to pay - and pay! TANSTAAFL!   But look outside! See that cable box junction? Got a nice long piece of wire ...oops, waveguide ... 
Finding the 'weakest link' when upgrading?
Speakers ARE the perpetual WEAK link! No TWO sound ALIKE!  
Finding the 'weakest link' when upgrading?
+1 elizabeth for noticing geoffkait's FAUX PAS - PC's indeed! 
Finding the 'weakest link' when upgrading?
+1 mikexxyz and cd318! Objectivity trumps Subjectivity! 
Who makes budget speaker cables which are truly “good” or “exceptional” in quality?
RCA 14 ga. works and sounds fine on my KLH Nines and Ohm Sound Cylinders!
