Thank you.  Well done.  
Bypass capacitor questions
Path Audio resistors are the best.   Very neutral and so smooth.  I love them. Dislike bypass caps unless the combo is a known homerun. Still think that combo is causing issues.  Just my opinion.  
Bypass capacitor questions
Remove the bypass caps.  Only bypass in power supplies not in speaker crossovers as the results are oftentimes all over the board and impossible to predict.  Bypassing in crossovers makes the sound phasey and not quite right. Also look to the resi... 
Recommendation for input coupling caps
Jupiter HT is very good. Less than the copper.   
KLE RCA plugs are the real deal!!
Here is a recent review.  Easily the best mod or tweak I have ever encountered in my 35 years of audio.  http://v2.stereotimes.com/post/perfectpath-technlogies-total-contact/

@ketchup The total contact paste is really not a paste as the consistency helps it spread very easily and a little bit goes a long, long way. The kit comes with a nice painters style mini brush that is used to paint all connectors Etc...I simply p...

@emcdade.....That’s like saying a new piece of gear, room treatment or cabling that improves your sound is only because one did not like the sound without the new addition in the first place.  That is not true and again an over generalization.

Treat all those connections.  I have.  Speaker crossover etc.,, Fantastic stuff.  Should try it before you knock it.  I would be willing to split the cost of a vile with one or two of you.   
Machina Dynamica New Dark Matter CD and Blu Ray tray treatment?
Best post ever by Eliz.  Plus infinity to her thoughtful comment.  So true it should sink deeply into each of our minds before posting some of the harsh words I so regularly read here. Best post award!

The sound quality after RC is applied is far better in my room.  Not just the bass. Seems your over generalized comment is perhaps flawed. Many owners find the post RC sound quality to be superior top to bottom. Far fewer don’t. Have you owned a 2...

First you need to use cabling noted for natural unforced sound. Cabling that has great midrange bloom and meat on the bones weight.  Cabling that has natural tone and serves up details with smooth and warm personality.  No silver.  No silver over ...

@dbassI made an RCA set that both I and the customer felt sounded terrific.  
Why the facination with integrated amps?
Best sound I have ever had is with my Lyngdorf 2170 one box wonder.  I still build tube amps for fun, but the 2170 with room correction and built in dac simply sounds better.  I mentioned some of the reasons above and they do in fact play a role. ... 
Why the facination with integrated amps?
OP we could not possibly disagree more. Oh well, it is the nature of these threads. Noise, noise, noise and noise again.  If you think short signal paths mean nothing, then I cannot help you. You asked why integrated gear is hot and you now need t... 
Why the facination with integrated amps?
The future is in one box wonders with dac, room correction, DSP functions, streaming, pre and amp all in one box.  Short signal paths and built in synergy are huge upsides.  Advances in DSP, Class D and digital are bringing a whole new world of li...
