Audioquest vs Acoustic Zen
The King Cobra and Diamondback are old cables which are not being produced anymore. The new AQ interconnects use a lot more airtubes. What makes them a lot more open and faster in timing. Try to audition the new ones! 
Siltech cables. Help to recognize originals.
Siltech is comming from Holland.I live in the Netherlands. I tested them in the past a lot. To be honest in my world they are not good enough in quality. I have done thousends of tests with cables. Always looking just for the best, the rest doesn'...

What are the "new" brands in amps and pre-amps

Furutech Gold and Copper connector
I also have a Purist Audio Powercable with Oyaide 004. These I also prefer over the Furutech. Next year I will sell the Furutech plugs. Oyaide is a very lazy company with slow delivery. The people who are distributers of Oyaide dislike the company... 
Furutech Gold and Copper connector

Best subs for music under 1000$
Timing is very important to use for music. In my opinion most are too slow. Velodyne is for music not one of the best and fastest responses in the market. Rel is loosing also in this part compared to other brands who are faster. And yes roomcorrec... 
floor-stander speaker for "classical"
Naim is fully 2 dimensional. Every single brand has his own properties. One of the propertie of an amp is how a stage is build by the amp. Naim is placed in the 2 dimensional amps. Since 2007 my focus is fully on 3 dimensional sound. I eliminate a...
