Which Deoxit...?
Deoxit D5 would be a better solution for cleaning used connectors. Some people experienced using as such could change a little bit the sound quality after a couple of months. Worse case scenario could happen with  cleaning products like Walker, Ca... 
Where to get a reliable Cryo treatment service for Power cord?
Thank you very much guys for the infos. I talked to several companies and seems NitroFreeze is more professional. thanks Rick!BDP24, my humble experience is limited to Hubble duplex outlet (Cryo vs. Non-Cryo treatment). The sonic difference is rea... 
Seeking Imformation Regarding 2016 California Audio Show
oopss ...sorry ... it seems the dates are not updated. Last year, number of exhibitors was much less than precedent years. I remember Constantine Soo (organizer) was somehow upset too! Maybe they are hesitant to move forward. Hope this is not the...

Synergistic Grounding Block and Tweaking it.
Another comment about SR Grounding box. Power cord attached to it is just to provide a common ground wire from AC outlet to be linked to GRs on ICs or SCs from SR. I guess on that AC plug, Hot or Neutral are left floating. It seems other brands do... 
Recommendations for XLR interconnect cables on a BAT system
I agree with Jmcgrogan2 . BAT amps (even Solid states) are more on warm side of neutral. Some Silver IC would add more neutrality and would add more high frequency extension. I use AQ SKY with my BAT 600Se with an excellent result. Some other AQ s... 
Synergistic Grounding Block and Tweaking it.
Ozzy,There are two issues: 1-Grounding box types like SR, Entreq and Tripoint dedicated to Grounding on interconnect level circuitry. 2- grounding on AC outlet which affects also circuit level grounding on other way. Briefly speaking, this is beca... 
Synergistic Grounding Block and Tweaking it.
Ozzy, Even though it is not related to SR ground box, hope that would help. Regarding Grounding box, there are a couple of other companies doing as such like Entreq. There are also some links explaining inside of Entreq GB:http://www.whatsbestforu... 
Tesla Plex SE by Synergistic Research.
Ozzy,Thanks a lot for your  comments. Actually, I have a couple of Furutech GTX--DGold which are really good on my amps. I used them on front end and found a little bit reticent on high frequencies, less dynamic and somehow dominating audio signal... 
Tesla Plex SE by Synergistic Research.
Hello Rafael, I was wondering whether you would share your experience on Tesla plex and any comparison with Furutech FPX(R?G?cu?). cheers,Michel. 
Cardas Power Cords / Furutech vs Cardas Terminations
I don't know how different they sound but based on my experience AC plugs plays a big roll on sound quality. Actually, because of its cheaper price, I was going to purchase a couple of Cardas NEMA/IEC. On the ads it says copper metal connector! I ... 
Biggest difference between Audioquest power cables against Shunyata power cables?
Jake, I think the issue of heated plug comes from Gauge  no. of AQ-NRG1000 pc which is like 12 or 14 and it is best suited to be used with CD player or Preamps.  Shunyata ZiTron Alpha (analog and HC!) is 10 Awg and is made for Power amps usage. Th...

gshepardbuster, You are right, SKY and WBY shares identical inside core wiring. WBY has 32% more FEP isolation in between wires. AQ Niagara (one 20AWG and 2X 21 AAWG) uses 15% less silver compared to SKY( 3X 20AWG). Perhaps that's why Niagara soun...

gshepardbuster, Those are very nice audio gears you have. I am using AQ SKY all over my system, except AQ Cheetah from Turntable to my phono pre (einstein turntable's choice). Their difference is not subtle! I was thinking to upgrade at least part... 
Audioquest
Jafant, I looked around and tried a few other speaker cables from other brands. Some gives you an illusion of super-extended soundstage, but you get less resolution/details and/or a unpleasant frequency balanced sound. At AQ Volcano price range, i...
