Wow, you have that many. 
Wall Outlet Oyaide, Furutek, Wattgate, and others
Audio labyrinth, I think I will try the Furutech outlet cover as others have had great results with it.

Audiolabyrinth, thx. I am only using one and intend to get the wall plate for it. From this thread the Furutech wall plate has better results than the Oyaide. Is this correct?

This Furutech GTX-D rodium is in my system and replaced my Maestro. From installation I have a few words. Holy $&@! This thing destroys my Maesto and S.R Teslaplex SE. I'm aware of the long breakin period but: Positives:Huge dynamics Extended ... 
Akiko Tuning Stick AC -- It IS Magic
Thx Spar, I have someone that has tried the Akiko tuning stick on his speaker cables near the cross-over and had great results. I may try those instead. I am awaiting the Furutech GTX-D rhodium and it will replace the Meastro outlet.

Has anyone tried SC-35 Oriton cones?

@Spar, I had exact results as you with the single stick in my system. Just wondering what receptacle are you using? I am using a Maestro now which I will be trying a Furutech GTX-D rhodium outlet in hope that the detail, seperation and grip will c...

I had it in my Meastro outlet and it sounded 10% better overall than no Akiko but didn't give a more accurate soundstage of instruments and mid bass/bass when in the Audience conditioner. I am changing my system in a few weeks so I may take it out... 
Akiko Tuning Stick AC -- It IS Magic
I could explain my conclusions as if it had a filter over it tightening the midrange/bass but the highs were almost not there. Drumm symbols were half there like they were muffled. No "tsssss" or shimmer to them. I'm not sure of any break in perio... 
Akiko Tuning Stick AC -- It IS Magic
Yes thx Melbguy1. I think I will try the triple after I here the differences from the single on this thread. The connector and gauge looks definitely better quality. Listening to music had more depth, solid midbass and low end bass notes. Silent ... 
Akiko Tuning Stick AC -- It IS Magic
I have an Akiko AC plugged into my audience Adept ar6TSS and noticed increased midrange and bass definition at the sacrifice of high level details. I think if a system is bright sounding it may tame it down to a degree. Anyone trying the triple st...

Don't step on the merry go round with these tweeks. Ever heard of K.I.S.S.Keep-It-Simple-Stupid. Put the money into the hard wire. Less links in the chain......actually there is none in the chain. Cheers....

no outlet I've heard is better and to hard wire 8/2 from panel. Eliminating outlet and any power cord. I'm going to try cryo'd 8/2......CHEERS!!!! 
Beryllium Tweeters
I think the beryllium tweeter is nice as I had owned a pair of Paradigm Signature S2's V3 but found them too bright at loud levels. Sometimes harsh sounding. I was even running them with a hybrid tube integrated which smoothened things out a littl...
