New Omega E Mat from Perfect Path Technologies
I would prefer placing them inside the speaker so they don’t mess with the aesthetic appeal of the speakers.   My wife would not allow them on the outside :)Perhaps they would also be more effective internally? Remove a woofer or two and carefully... 
Preamp Output Capacitor: Mundorf Supreme vs. Supreme Silver Oil
Hi Alex.  Cannot say for sure as I did not do a side by side, cap to cap direct comparison.  I was lucky enough to compare both as bypass caps with a .47uf Jupiter copper foil in the same piece of gear.  The Sn-Cu has more of that special musicali... 
Moving cables around killed dynamics for days anyone else experience this?
Big Amen and well said @rodman99999!  
Vandersteen 2ce Signature vs Tekton Double Impact
You would think, but the designer says they work great in small rooms as do some owners. Worth a call to Eric the man at Tekton.

Vandersteen 2ce Signature vs Tekton Double Impact
I owned both over the years.  I honestly think the DIs offer more of everything important to a music lover. In many ways they are just on a higher level of performance. Vandys are great, I love pretty much the whole line, but the DIs play with the... 
Hornshoppe "the Truth" preamp - any opinions?
That is what I mean about lack of noise.  I am not referring to buzz or hum or other annoying noises, but noise in the music that obscures details and purity. When noise is reduced transparency improves greatly!

What makes a good equipment rack?
I just set up a brand new Sound Anchors 200 pound 5 shelf unit. I love this thing! Solid as a rock and I love the way it allows air to circulate all around my gear! It sounds terrific to boot! I still use my Iso Acoustics footers under all my gear...

Some cables absolutely don’t like to be moved around and need a little time to settle back into a system. @geoffkait is right on this based on my experience.  This is especially true of power cables.   
Difference in sound between copper and silver digital cables?
My mom used to tell me you just can’t help some people. Seems she was spot on.  Still a great place this Agon! What can one possibly do after spending years and thousands of hours building, testing, listening then building again with various condu... 
Preamp Output Capacitor: Mundorf Supreme vs. Supreme Silver Oil
Yes please check them out.  Bypass with the Vcap CuTF.  My favorite cap is still the Duelund CAST tinned copper foil.  However, they are just crazy expensive for general use.  
Preamp Output Capacitor: Mundorf Supreme vs. Supreme Silver Oil
Amen! Bypass with CuTF .01uf from Vcap and try to contain yourself after some 60 hours.  
Difference in sound between copper and silver digital cables?
I have built and sold USB cables for years trying all manner of conductors. Easy to hear the sonic character of pure silver vs. pure copper conductors in identical designs. One can also easily hear synthetic vs natural conductor coverings. My cust... 
Difference in sound between copper and silver digital cables?
Yes you are right Doug! Always outlier experiences and who knows why? System? Ears? Break in? Bad pizza?
