Preamp caps Jupiter copper foil or Jupiter HT worth double the money?
Hello @grannyring ,The Jupiter flat stacked copper foil caps that I've had for sale are quite rare and I really don't want to sell them. I haven't had the need for 2.2uf caps for a while now and they've just been sitting on a shelf. I want someo... 
JCAT Femto USB Card
@jay73 There's no doubt that my system cannot sound the same without the JCAT Femto USB card. It's sound quality is at least 70% of the improvement that the Pass XA25 provided to my system and only a 5th of the price when you also include the pric... 
JCAT Femto USB Card

Duelund RCA interconnects...opinions
Has anyone created a pair of interconnects using Duelund's 12ga wires? I'm curious to know how 12ga compares to 16ga wire.  
Any one try the new Synergistic Research BLUE UEF Duplex receptacle?
There's another variable that I forgot to mention. The ground wire that connects from the receptacle to the circuit board now runs at the top of the case and no longer touching the other live and neutral wires that rest at the bottom of the case. ...

Any one try the new Synergistic Research BLUE UEF Duplex receptacle?
(There are three new components in my system that are not fully broken in including a blue fuse in my amp; therefore, take what I'm about to say with a grain of salt.)  Just today I installed the Blue receptacle into my power conditioner. The Card... 
Synergestic Black Fuse vs Audio Magic BeesWax
Maybe corroded was the incorrect term to use. Is "tarnished" a better word?   
Synergestic Black Fuse vs Audio Magic BeesWax
I have a couple of blue SR fuses that I believe have provided a cost effective improvement to my system. However, I concur with Goergehifi's point regarding corroded fuses. I experienced a great improvement to my system when I replaced the visibly...
