I’m not really a fan of ’better records’. I have a number of his ’recommendations’ and they are nothing special. Most of the better D to D LP’s or the likes of Opus 3, smoke them. Problem is, and this is just IMHO, the guy really isn’t listening t... 
Can flexible power cables sound good?
As mentioned above, the Zen Wave pc is superb. Also excellent is the Black Cat pc. I have both and depending on their upstream gear, both have easily beaten out much larger and less flexible designs. ( and also far more costly!). 
What is the Silliest Accessory You Have Ever Seen.
I own and have always been highly impressed by the Shakti’s! One of the best additions I have made to the acoustic treatments in my room. Why the OP has to ’assume’ that these do not work is interesting, perhaps because looking at them they do not...

 @asvjerry  Not relevant to used, or resale, LP's, which is what we are talking about here. 
Interesting development
@jafant   Maybe. Although does that explain the significant increase in value of the MFSL Milestones LP that I exampled above? Plenty of supply for years...and little demand. Now that it is 'supposedly' out of stock ( and for how long?) the demand...

@builder3  Uhm, not what a "Seller' will pay, what a "Buyer" will pay. Selling it for less makes perfect sense if that 'less' is going to be more than what it can be sold for after said sale, or in the future! That is if one has to sell.

@chrisoshea I think you probably hit the nail on the head when you stated what you did about 28 year old newbies. That would certainly explain why so many of these titles are selling for multiples of what they were just a few months back...or even...

@millercarbon  Another non-sequitur.... 
Interesting development
Ok, so the fact that the title is no longer available, or is temporarily unavailable, guarantees it will now sell for multiples of the original price. This does not really make total sense to me, as the Miles Davis Milestones MFSL reissue was avai...

@millercarbon sorry, but I don’t think your reasoning explains the sudden rise in value of the particular albums that I mentioned in my prior post.  
Interesting development
Can anyone explain the sudden and significant increase in the desirability of a record like the MoFi release of Miles Davis Milestones, as an example. This release was available for years with seemingly little absorption, and yet we now see it sel... 
Interesting development
@millercarbon  While your post explains some of the rise in value, it doesn't totally explain the considerable rise in value of the reissues, some of which I mention in my OP. Remember, some of these will be available again ( after repress) at pri... 
Finally, ultrasonic cleaning for the masses!
Looks like the humminguru may be a very good option! Certainly seems to be a better solution than a Kirmuss, which does not have a drying cycle! Only question is what the price will ultimately be in the US and when and if it will be truly availabl... 
New Sonus Faber Electa Amator 3...anybody heard these yet?
Nice review(s) Thanks for posting. Makes me want to hear the new EA3 even more. 
Black Cat power cables
@twoleftears  Chris tends to re-name his cables fairly frequently. The PC that I own is the Silverstar, although I believe it is now called the PC-1 cable. I also own a pair of Silverstar ic's...which are possibly one of a kind, as I suspect Chris...
