LOOKING FOR CD STORAGE RACKS
I cannot recommend Craigslist during the pandemic; however, I did find three excellent CD racks on CL in the past.  
Looking for a vinylesk sounding DAC
Talk to user @grannyring about the modifications that he performs on the Orchid DACs. I highly recommend that that you have it modified by him if you purchase one.  
Looking for a vinylesk sounding DAC
The MHDT Orchid has a lot of good reviews for it's musicality. I had an MHDT Pagoda DAC. It's sound is detailed but the Jupiter HT caps @ 1uF made it sound musical with an even balance of detail. It was a perfect combination. Swap out cheap output... 
V-Cap ODAM: What the Future Sounds Like
Hi Alex,Let us know what you think of the sound. Are the caps still in your amp? How do the caps measure in terms of tolerance?

Has anybody tried using single solid core cables?
I agree with williewonka's findings. VH Audio's wire with Airlok foamed dielectric is an excellent choice. The V-Quad cable for use as DC umbilical cables get two thumbs-up from me.

Tweaks you got rid of because they were not effective (enough)?
I found that the effectiveness of footers and cones vary by component, cabling, and component rack.  
NEW Cerious Technologies Upgrade - Graphene Matrix Cables
Bob can be elusive. Good luck reaching him. The last time that I tried to contact him was last year to inquire about obtaining another Matrix DC cable. I only heard crickets after a couple of attempts.  
Reviewing the fabulous Silversmith Fidelium Speaker Cables
Does anyone have experience with the Fidelium and other ribbon speaker cables?Would you say that ribbon cables present similar sonic qualities? I did a bit of research and found that Omega Mikro has a unique ribbon design as well. https://www.omeg... 
Your most indispensable "tweak"?
@puffball08 In what amp did you perform those mods?@toolbox149 The Schroeder Method is on my to do list. It will be very disappointing if it doesn’t work out in my system. 
Your most indispensable "tweak"?
For less than $500, the Akiko Audio Harmonizer Unit is the best tweak that I have ever experienced. It transformed my system above and beyond what I hoped it could do. It is also the most straightforward tweak to install because it's connected to ...
