Best Capacitors for Crossovers
Do you think these would be good as output caps in a preamp or coupling to output in an amp?  
Has anyone tried these stunning new CPT power cord?
The circuit needs to break in before I know if it has any impact on the sound quality. Right now I would say I am hearing a slight improvement in air and Micro details.  Could all be in my head 😁However, all my toroidal transformers are dead quiet... 
Craigslist transaction went south...
Yes give him his money back. You don't need this hassle in your life.  
Has anyone tried these stunning new CPT power cord?
Well I placed a DC blocker circuit inside both my 150 and 300 to tame the hum/buzz in my 300 and remove the hum/buzz in my amplifier transformers. It worked like a charm. The 300 as well as my amplifier are dead quiet! Awesome. The DC blocker is v...

You scare me and I would never take you up on such a ridiculous offer. Strangest thread I have been part of in all my considerable time here on the Gon.  Doug, I must leave this thread and look forward to your review brother.

Correct Al. Strange how folks assume they have more knowledge, experience, or wisdom on certain matters then all others or even certain others.  
Tekton Double Impacts
@greg22lz My goodness your comments about your wife's experience is so wonderful and arresting. Never read a better component recap on performance!  
Tekton Double Impacts
@grey9hound +1.  No doubt the ST100 is one of those amps that defies being lumped into tube or SS sound. Owners and reviewers have all had the very same experience with this amp. It is also a great example of outstanding value competing with amps ... 
Tekton Double Impacts
@sbayne Well said and I agree.  Great big amp world out there and I have certainly heard SS and hybrid amps with as much or more emotion, air, tone, color etc... as a DHT or PP tube amp. These comparisons should not be in general, but specifically...

Good for you to have an opinion.  Not truth, but just an opinion. Funny how others must think as you for you to be content. No worries, chill and listen.

Nobody heard miracles, but certainly obvious differences that any open minded and eared person can discern. If you can’t, then just play music on Any old wire and call it good. Just enjoy whatever system you think sounds great and no worries if yo... 
$100,000 line stage
Yes the internal parts level and build quality are a work of art. Even the chokes use pure silver wire! Have any you priced a silver foil capacitor of late? We Aphiles regularly pay $5,000 to $10,000 for preamps with parts quality costing 1/10 of ... 
Shielded power cord best used on Digital/Source or on Tube Amps?
Ozzy, it is pretty easy really once you work at it. It is the way the professionals do it as you keep all the stands in tact for better connection. The weave comes apart readily in my experience. Worth a try next time Ozzy.

Interesting. Could it just be a matter of engineering a different device? I see this as a fruitful area.  You're the right man for the job!

Ear cups to place on your ears greatly improving the listening experience. Try cupping your hand behind your ears and listen. Oh my! Imagine if we were to make a well engineered ear appendage that is perfected for stereo listening. This is big fol...
