He knows his stuff AND he’s got the look!! 
Deoxit for cables
Pro Gold just sounds a bit more vivid and warm :)) 
Very Bad purchase from upscale audio Acoustic Zen Adagio
I have dealt with Kevin for over 20 years.  NOS tubes to High end speakers and never have I been dissatisfied.  In fact, on my last transaction he delivered my very expensive gear double boxed and with free tweak merchandise.  Just thought I shoul... 
Full-sounding SS amps (besides Pass)
Jfant, Surround Sounds in Exton, Pa!!  Only Krell dealer near me these days...used to have 3 but Soundex and Hi Fi House closed their doors awhile back. 
Focal Kanta No.2: A New Age Continued...
Forest Signatures are excellent speakers but couldn’t quite fill the room with large scale orchestral music.  The Kanta 2’s can play on a far bigger level with tremendous authority and dynamic swing.  Strings sound more realistic as do voices.  Ov...

Yes, will update system! 
Kubala-Sosna Sensation
I’ve been to the mountain top...it’s pricey and precipitous up there! Recently got a pair of Pangea Balanced Premier XL interconnects for a budget system I was putting together and I figured why not check them out on my main system. Absolutely ast... 
Focal No.2 Speaker System: A New Age Dawns
In my reasonably large room they produce the most tactile, visceral bass and slam I have heard from 30hz up!  In other words, they cover the musical scale authentically.  For lowest organ notes perhaps an REL would be needed.
