Neutrik aftermarket cable for Rel Strata III
Thanks for your help guys. I'll check into them. 
Walker Audio Extreme SST
It seems that SST has a much greater effect on tube based systems because there are so many connections (tube pins).The improvement in my set based, all tube system, has been remarkable due to Extreme SST.

The best sounding FM Tuner is.....
Sedond, (or anyone with "a lot" of tuner experience) do you care to say which is your favorite tuner, stock or modified, for best sound and reception.I have been looking for something better than my Mac MR-78 which I have had for over 15 years. It... 
What are the most under-appreciated products?
Herbies Hal-O tube dampers. I was amazed at how they increased the 3 D spacial characteristics, plus tighter and deeper bass. It was like getting an amp upgrade. 
Tuner Gurus: Opinion on Sansui TU-9900 vs. TU-919
Hi Rus,Thanks for pointing that out. Sounds like your ears are as golden as the experts!Martin 
Halos or Coolers?
I have Hal-o's on 300B's in Manley Retros. They make a nice improvement in bass, clarity, and spacial characteristics. I have never tried coolers. You can send Hal-o's back for a refund if they are not worthwile in your system.

Do tube dampers really work?
If you want to know what HAL-O's do to the sound, check out their website. Many people describe what it does for their systems under the review section. You can find the website through the manufacturers list on Audiogon.They have made a big diffe... 
ARC SP 10....how good is it really????
I sold my SP10mk2 last year after owning it for over 10 years. I really enjoyed it. The very positive qualities you've heard about it are true, but so are the negatives. In stock condition, it lacks the clarity and frequency extremes of many curre... 
Anyone Switch from Electrostatic/Planar to Dynamic
I had Magies for over 20 years, 2A's, 2B's, 3's and Tympani IVa's. Had the Tympani's for 13 years. Thought they were great. I moved into a new house, and the wife didn't want them in the family room anymore. I was relagate to the bonus room, but i...
