Hi, the AN-L you have retails for US$19/ft. Yes, indeed, all Audio note cables are good sounding cables. The AN-L is a 6n copper Litz cable and also shielded.This is the top of the line copper cable from them. After this, you will have to go silve... 
Spica's TC 50 vs. Sound Dynamic RT 3's
I once had a pair of TC-50's and absolutely loved them until my wife decided to get a cat as a pet. My cat destroyed the speaker by clawing onto the felt and sleeping on the sloping front (I hope you guys can picture it). Grill was destroyed too a... 
Original Packaging, you gotta have it.
An amp like the Defy 7 should have been triple boxed with the tubes removed packed saperately. I am involved in the shipping industry and boxes should be packed TIGHT with foam AND bubble wrap around the component then boxed again with styrofoam l... 
Hall of Shame
Transparent cables. Over priced and bad sounding. MIT comes a close second!

Best Recommended Resistors for audio
Vishay, Holco, Roderstein Caddock and some Phillips are all really good sounding. You have to really try in on your system to determine which better suits your needs.

What do you choose first SOUND or MUSIC?
Buddy, listen to what you like. Sometimes the fidelity is important but most of the time, listen to what you enjoy. That's what I do. 
Are Horn Speakers good or bad or simply a complete joke?
Older horns can still sound really good in properly set up. Klipsch, JBL and Altec Lansing sometimes still give me goosebumps when I hear them at my dad's. 
Which DAC? Levinson, Theta, Sonic Frontiers
Lev335 is right on the money. Get the no.36. Great sounding DAC with an honest presentation without any highlighting. Hear what's on the CD. 
25 foot bi-wire speaker cables that won't bust the bank?
Kimber 8TC. Do not go for the 8VS. If you wanna go cheaper, then go 4TC. Real good value for money. Honest sounding cable. 
Red Rose R3s vs. Proac 1sc vs. Dynaudio 1.3SE
