Shunyata Research's Denali 2000T ???
Lak:I have been thinking about balanced power myself.  I am curious why you don't use the Equitech for your amp/preamp but only for your DAC? Did you experiment and conclude that is where it is best used?  Or is that a recommended or a common way ... 
Anticables
I will say that the Anticables Silver/gold speaker cables are superb.  I'm keeping mine and I've had some very nice cables - MIT Magnum MA, Audience Au24E and Synergistic Tungsten. And I will be trying out the Anticables ICs soon.  No scam here, I... 
Has anyone tried these stunning new CPT power cord?
Thanks Lak for the feedback re: your Anticables. I'm waiting for some Anticables myself.  Their top speaker cables are just superb. 
Has anyone tried these stunning new CPT power cord?
Lak, I will be interestedin hearing about your experience with the Anticable Level 3 PC solo and in combination with CPT products.  Please post your views. Thanks.

Just saw this.  Gaal, thanks for sharing your insights. 
Has anyone tried these stunning new CPT power cord?
gaal, are you by any chance using Anticables with the CPT 1800 conditioner?   
Marigo VTS treatment for speakers
I haven't yet put the VTS bands on the woofers as it is a bigger deal than putting the bands on the mid-range, but I plan to do so soon.  In the meantime I put three Marigo N51 window VTS discs on the three large windows in my listening room.  Wow... 
Ayon Triton III — KT88 BTSX Tubes? Tube sources?
Thank you for sharing your experience, thuhaile and vicweast.  Good to know.  I might buy a few BT KT88s for my stock and trial and and have them properly stress tested at TC Tubes who offer this service. 
VAC 160iSE integrated with NOLA speakers
Does anyone have any advice/experience on the reliability of Shuguang Black Treasure KT-88Z vs. the competing premium Chinese made brands - PSVane, Sophia? 
Ayon Triton III — KT88 BTSX Tubes? Tube sources?
Has anyone had experience they can report about the reliability of Black Treasure KT88s?  I tried some competing special Chinese-made KT88s which I liked a lot sound quality-wise, but I just had a couple of new tubes fail around the 90+ day mark, ... 
Alternative application of SR HFT
I too believe you are right about ECTs anyway near the rectifier tube in my DAC.  I have a number of ECTs in the DAC and I moved one much closer to the rectifier tube placing it upside down on the cover plate inside the DAC hovering above just aro... 
Alternative application of SR HFT
Someone (perhaps from SR, I think) did say to me at one point to try ECTs on the amp chassis near the base of tubes, but not on the base itself. They did not say anything about putting them on tubes themselves. I believe that HFTs are not non-cond... 
Tube rolling VAC 160i SE
You might also try as driver tubes three Philips E80CC tubes made in Heerlen.  These are 12au7 subs with a higher filament current requirement which works fine in the 160iSE amp, but only in the driver section and importantly not in the preamp sec... 
Cerious Technologies NEW Graphene Cables
OK Ozzy, thanks.  Actually I am quite happy with the SR Elements.  So am going to wait any way for a while before any changes.  Was just curious actually. 
Cerious Technologies NEW Graphene Cables
Maybe I didn't look thoroughly but I could not see a conclusion from anyone here about the Cerious Graphene cables relative to SR Element cables.  I'm quite curious.  Thanks.
