steakster: I picked up the titanium rod from McMaster-Carr. You can probably find purer rod elsewhere and make sure you get the 99% titanium as there are many alloys out there, that is unless you get something like the platinum or palladium alloys. And I was very curious about the cables using tungsten, but I've found that I like the molybdenum much better. It's not quite as focused as the tungsten but has just as much detail and sounds smoother, sweeter, more organic. I'm thinking about getting some titanium wire and molybdenum wire and mixing them to make a power cord. That's what I've done with the slugs in my system, 1 titanium in the DAC, and moly slugs in the transport and amp. It's the best combination I've tried so far.
