Bi-wires links for speakers ?
Personally I DO NOT believe that bi-wiring can make any difference if someone really wants to improve the sound he should bi-amplifying ; more power=more control or just upgrading the ampflication (single wiring),But I do suspect that the standa... 
Bi-wires links for speakers ?
FWIW, gdnrbob is a dealer, though he doesn't like to disclose that information, as it may show his bias. So obviously he will think that if you bi-wire you will spend twice as much on cables as you were planning to. So what!  Everybody has a bia...

Has anyone tried these stunning new CPT power cord?
@agriculturist  lak is correct, no soldering is required with Furutech NCF connectors, just a screwdriver.   Mike Garner built all the Furutech cables for me.

@bacardi I don't considered replacing a captive power cable by a PROFESSIONAL extreme.  The modified unit looks exactly like stock except for a different cable.    Resale value is never a big factor in my purchasing decisions especially at this pr...

I bet a six pack of Rel G1 mk2 would solve the deep bass problem.  😁

Update on my modified CPT 300.I stumbled on Furutech FP-S55N / FP-S032N and Nanotec #308 Nano AuAg bulk power cables thanks to @fork. I have 6 made with Furutech NCF connectors. NCF connector is $400 each but worth it in comparison on same cable... 
Synergistic Red Fuse ...
Charles, I don’t know why many builders don’t use film caps in the power supply? Why they don’t use better internal wiring? Why they use such long signal paths? Why they don’t use breakers? Why many builders think one part sounds the same as anoth...
