Nordost Red Dawn "Flatline" interconnect Want to replace with a more musical sounding IC.
Why not try the Belden 8402 mentioned/recommended by Jeff Day at Positive Feedback and on his Blog: jeffplace.me. He, me, and many other Audiogonners switched out our expensive interconnects for these with great success. Cost about $80.00 terminat... 
Neutral electronics are a farce...
Thanks Dracule1For pointing out there is no such thing as "neutral" in the recording/listening chain. Any musician like you, or myself, or any recording/sound engineer can tell you that...how do you measure neutral? What are the standards utilized... 
Harbeth 40.1 - Need some tips on placement from current owners.
Oh my, congratulations Grannyring, I'm so happy for you! One of my brothers own the Harbeth SHL-5s. I always liked the various Harbeths. I'm still on the hunt for my ultimate. Again, glad you found so much satisfaction in your latest combo.

Jetrexpro,It is a wonderful happening when you get to your state of satisfaction with an audio system. I'm there with my second/office system. After changing out the stock capacitors for Arizona Green/NOS stock Mallory capacitors and select Ohmite...

Thanks Jet for that report. So far I'm using the WE10ga as power cord from wall with Oyaide R-1 and plate set-up to a Cable Pro power strip with no limiting factors. My Coincident Dynamo 34SE is Connected to the Cable Pro via WE10ga. The Transport...

Grannyring, Jet,hear you. Likely Day spends some time here. I know he was impressed by your work; I'm positive he is also pressed for time and deadlines. Perhaps that is why Day can not experiment to umpteenth degree and sometimes misses out; but ...

A poster on Jeff Day Blog has apparently located a 1,000 foot reel of WE16ga wire. I believe he is going to sell some to folks who want/need more of the WE16ga. Best, Rob 
With $20,000 in your hand, what speaker would you
Tannoy Westminster Royals or Volti. 
Infinity Prelude MTS repairs
I also own the Infinity Prelude Compositions still in real good shape. I like these speakers a lot; but I will likely never buy another Infinity product. I feel they ruined this speaker's great potential with the next incarnation and you are right...

Grannyring, Jet, why not write Jeff Day about your new findings with the various different WE gauge, terminations such as Canare f10 and shielding, etc. I believe Jeff and many of his blog reader's including Shirokazu Yazaki-san would be immensely... 
Amps which are Great, but either Unknown or Underpriced
Many good amps listed. I'll add Coincident Dynamo 34SE. Top notch and cost effective if you pair with high efficiency speakers. 
Synergistic Red Fuse ...
Charles,it would be an honor for me, likely many others on Agon to hear your thoughts on the Jazz greats. I know I pay attention when give your thoughts on anything audio...Best, Rob 
Granny ring, Jetrexpro, all
Hi Grannyring,thanks for the update. I'm going to do same, see how it does in my system. I really like the WE10ga as power cord. Also thanks for the Canare suggestion. Early on Yazaki-san also recommend the Canare. Recently my brother got to compa... 
Power cords at ridiculous prices?
pops,agree with you...just getting a lay of the land...what opinions out there; and I can do as you said with Western Electric WE10ga stranded tinned copper terminated with Furutech f11 for about $100 total. Amazing! Best, Rob 
DIY Goertz MI-1 or MI-2 Termination
I can't help you with your question but I visited the Goertz facility in CT in October while visiting a sister. Great experience watching how they manufacture different items. Best of luck, Rob
