BEST HARMLESS/SIGNATURELESS SPEAKERS CAPACITORS.
@rauliruegas Looks like I don't have the values you need, but I do have an extra pair of 2.0uF V-CAP TFTFs... would happily sell them to you as I ended up with Mundorf Supreme Silver/Gold/Oil's in my preamp.

@noble100 Thanks Tim. I'm definitely considering it.

@audiokinesis Also, I just wanted to thank Duke for being so open and upfront about what he does and the products he uses to build the swarm.  Based on his postings, I purchased a pair of the Dayton Audio SA1000 subwoofer amplifiers to try on my C...

@noble100 Hi Tim, I've got a "sort" option at the top of the thread that allows you to flip the order back and forth from "most recent first" to "oldest first." 
Ching Cheng Power Cords
Funny this thread got resurrected.  I was using the CC cords and eventually upgraded to Furutech and DH Lab based cords once my system got to a good enough level.  They were a significant upgrade on most components.  The stock cord did actually so... 
Types of speakers to create nightclub style sound?
I love the sound at one of my local concert venues.  All three of us at the concert were commenting on how great (but not ear piercing) the system was... for an EDM/Electronica concern none-the-less.  They a Meyer Mica system.  Those are self-powe... 
Another new DAC: Audio Mirror
Good recommendations @vassils.  I would have said 1,3,4,5... with 4/5 being very close.  I think the Duelund caps are the clear winner for most important. 
Lampizator Amber 3 DAC versus Primaluna EVO 100 DAC
Me too 
Amazon Launches Lossless "Hi-rez" HD Music Service
Like @rbstehno I was disappointed to find out that I could not stream Amazon music files to a UPNP renderer.  I worked hard to get off of USB and that's a deal breaker for me.    
Crossover Capacitors for Accuton Tweeters - Solen -> ClarityCap -> Jupiter -> Duelund
Interesting. I have been using my diy sit3 for a couple weeks and just switched back to the f4s. I lose a little bass energy, but gain warmth and smoothness. Still not totally sure which I prefer, but the F4 is just a fabulous amp if you've got th... 
Coincident Frankenstein mk.2 amps
I copied @charles1dad and got the Mullard's and eml xls 300bs. Loved that combination.  
Coincident speakers 14 Ohms - What amplification to use when streaming Tidal.
Decware might also be an option. I'd be biased towards tubes, although I did end up at first watt with my pre's. Loved coincident Frankensteins with the SEIIIs (move than a sit2). 
Coincident speakers 14 Ohms - What amplification to use when streaming Tidal.
You might consider line magnetic. There are a few models listed at usaudiomart that would be interesting to me if I were in your situation (I had super eclipse and now have pure reference extremes). 
Dreaming of a DIY 8W Class A amp designed by Nelson Pass?
And I found the exact same thing with the F4. I had built full mono blocks and was paralleling my inputs and outputs to double the current available to my speakers. Again, the sound improved when I went back down to a single board with it's own po... 
Dreaming of a DIY 8W Class A amp designed by Nelson Pass?
@lewinskih01 dual mono is really the way to go if you can. Each channel/board performs so much better when it's got it's own power supply. In my chassis I've got an f4 board on one side and a sissy sit (diy sit3) on the other. Left them both power...
