Looking for pure copper or Cu/Au bananas
I like the Vampire XLR connectors at Parts Connextion for the money. Pure copper and solidly built. If you have the budget, then I bet the ETI’s would sound a bit  better.   I only used the Vampire in my builds as they represented great sound at...

Parts Connextion is a good choice for adhesive lined heat shrink.  I have had good luck with these also,   https://www.amazon.com/inch-Adhesive-Diameter-Protector-MILAPEAK/dp/B07CVX4KT4    
Looking for pure copper or Cu/Au bananas
@rixthetrick    I have used ETI RCA plugs only. I liked then.  In the end I liked the KLEI just as much for lower cost. I have not tried their bananas and bet they are very good!    The Viborg option was based on the great value they represent....

Erik, the ones I linked you to are a great choice. I have used a plethora of brands over the years. These are the real deal and priced right.   The only ones that sound better are the KLEI bananas, but they are fragile and solder only.

These are great. Use double walled, adhesive lined heat shrink tubing over the barrel as your finishing touch. Sound good and lock in very securely. Build quality is high. https://www.amazon.com/Viborg-Locking-Connectors-Receiver-Amplifiers/dp/...

@larryi    Have you heard the latest version of the Horning Aristotle Ellipse PM65. Spectacular! Love to compare it to the Cube Audio offerings. No resistors or inductors in the Horning.  Only one cap on the tweeter. True full range performance ...

@ricevs    That is what I thought! An owner posted he wanted to try Vcap Odams in his set? I started thinking perhaps the driver was concentric. Most sorry for my confusion.

@david_ten    Sorry, yes I am referring to the video.

I love the sound of both versions! Really wonderful sounding speakers. I found a slight preference for the V2 which sounded a bit more complete to me. However, I would need to be in that room listening to be sure. The Vcap Odams are great in spea... 
Best speaker crossover caps for deep, tight, detailed and tactfull bass?
I find Audio Note Kaisei non-polar electrolytic caps work great in that position. They will fit easily and sound better than the bottom and lower tier film cap offerings in that position. They just do! Wonderful for bass. Combine a 50 & 22 uf...

@ozzy    The What’s Best Forum is just great. I am signed up and active there now. As @mikelavigne correctly stated we have other choices. My account will stay active here should I need to buy something. However, the enjoyable forum this once wa...

Audio nonsense
The problem is this forum is quickly becoming irrelevant. Other sites have meaningful conversations on recent audio learnings that benefit all who read and participate. This was my place to both learn and also share my learnings. It is no longer t...

This site is gone, gone, real gone. The sheer amount of ignorance and anti-innovativeness is astounding. If a company was run with the lack of wisdom and intentional curiosity now found on this forum, then that company would fail by becoming irrel... 
Anyone using a LAN isolator?
I use an ENO ethernet filter, passive, from Network Acoustics. It is wonderful.
