UP-OCC solid core copper for speaker cable
I used some of that Neotech copper cable when rewiring the inside of a pair of Spendors and was also impressed. It isn't that expensive. Thanks for the idea, I may try it as speaker cable. Eliminating connectors when possible is certainly partly r... 
Granite surface plate
Bpoletti,I would suggest that you call Adona. I am sure that they would sell you one of their granite shelves. They are the best of both worlds. They bond granite to a layer of MDF with a special (proprietary?) polymer. Anyway, it eliminates probl...

I had the same question. 
What makes Telefunken tubes sound better?
Schubert,I often enjoy your contributions to the forums, but at times, you say some very strange things that usually involve black and white blanket statements. This was one of them.
