Whats on your turntable tonight?
Came home from a long day at the big house. The Pink seemed appropriate. Going from most recent to earliest. Down to Atom Heart Mother right now. Starts at The Final Cut because that is where The Pink ceased to exist. 
8 track tape vs 1st press vinyl
Guitarsam, I like how you roll. Job well done. I will never forget the nostalgia of being young and stupid while listening to my 8Ts in my Pacer. In retrospect, what a sweet appreciation for that time in my life.  No one could make the argument th...

Speaker upgrade around 100k retail
Really! Sell the house. Sell the car. Sell the kids. Find someone else. 
The Room
I would also say the 2 subs, REL T-7is, are much easier to set in the smaller room than in the bigger room. Not sure if I just wasn't doing it right in the other room but they are completely different (better) in the smaller room.  A nice perk.

Recommendations for fast sounding cables
Hate to say but you will never get what you are seeking with a change in speaker cables. Time to go back to solid state amp as others have implied or said. Save your hard earned money, sell what you have, and upgrade. Not saying SS is better. But ... 
good discussion on power cords
Turkey jerky. All I can say is I bought a mid-range power cord (around $500) for my integrated amp and the impact was immediate. Not subtle. The manufacturer cord had no distress. So I was comparing apples to apples. It wasn't even comparable. I'm... 
SMSL 98E killed my setup?
Santiagol, I'm so sorry this happened to you. I can imagine myself doing the same thing. There has been some great feedback here because of your post which will hopefully help the rest of us whom would make the same mistake in the future to avoid ...
