Help needed for a skeptic!
The Cable Company charges 5% of selling price, for auditioning their wires.  That's also applied to the purchase price, if you keep them.   I've been using their, "library" and buying from them for the last decade.  Great guys with which to do bus... 
GroOove Lube. Does it work?
What bdp24 said, +1. I’ve been using LAST’s products(STYLAST/LAST/lately: RCM), for over three decades, and have nothing but praise. WELL, that PLUS clean/quiet/excellent sounding vinyls and pristine/long lasting styli. 
Are you Sirius?
@jafant -  Perhaps(one day) they'll figure that out and improve the service, IF those that are affected, call it to their attention.    
Which audio component would you like Santa to place under the christmas tree for you?
A pentagon shaped listening room,  each wall 17', plaster and lath, with a 10' ceiling, and 12" concrete floor, surrounding the tree.  Let's see Santa fit THAT in his sled!      
Are you Sirius?
A few years back I was driving a Tahoe, with satellite radio(free year with vehicle purchase). I listened to BB King’s Blues station, almost exclusively and it was great. You guys have persuaded me, that the years since have not been good to the t... 
My rant; we don't know what we don't know
@ fsonicsmith-   A good man recognizes his own limitations.  A smart man doesn't imagine everyone else to be likewise limited. 
My rant; we don't know what we don't know
@audioman58 -   EXACTLY! 
Interconnect Cables
@ricred1 -   Don't know what you're looking for, as far as the, "next level", but:  my personal experience with the Platinum Eclipse follows.   In my room, with my system, and with(between my main amps and pre) Silver Audio Hyacinths(unbalanced), ... 
Best interconnect burn-in method
VOLTAGES are stored in a dielectric, and released over time, in any component/cable with measurable, "capacitance".     There's no, "pseudo" anything involved in that fact.   The complex musical signals, listened to via our cables, can be smeared ... 
Best interconnect burn-in method
A repeat, for those that desire not to remain willfully ignorant of the SCIENCE, regarding dielectrics and cable construction: (http://www.empiricalaudio.com/computer-audio/technical-papers/dielectric-absorption-dissipation-fact...) Further, by th... 
Dahlquist DQ-1LP crossover owners
Got it now.  Kinda like a Bose 901 EQ does(at both ends of the spectrum), but- not at as high an order.   Then again: I've seen Tympani Bass panels, used with different mains(ie: QRS) and a DQ-LP1, with great results.   WHEW(that's been a few deca... 
Dahlquist DQ-1LP crossover owners
I used a modded DQ-LP1 for better than two decades and wish I hadn’t sold it. I’m not certain if a 5dB boost at 20Hz is enough for what you need, but the DQ-LP1 does offer that, via it’s EQ setting. Mentioned under, "controls and adjustments" on p... 
Mills MRA two types of different brand ?
Vishay bought Mills in 2011 and they have been making them ever since, in brown. There were four, color/finish versions of the older, made in the USA, Mills wire wounds: Dull(flat) in either black or brown / shiny and smooth in either black or brown. 
phase linear amplifiers
Those of us that repaired them, loved Phlame Linears(they kept us busy). 
Mills MRA two types of different brand ?
Some vendors still have a supply of NOS, USA made Mills resistors.  Vishay bought the company, in 2011, and moved production to Mexico.
