Best Budget RCA cables
I like these if you can afford about $80 / pair USD plus shipping.https://www.takefiveaudio.com/products/1358-mogami-2549-gold-performance-rca-deep-cryo-treated/I also have the same Mogami 2549 wire with KLEI Copper Harmony RCA terminators. 
Low noise, neutral, high current power cord for wall to power distributor
I really like the Signal Cable MagicPower cables.  Great price and you can return it within 30 days for a personal trial... 
Need suggestions please! Electrical noise in my system and it's driving me crazy!
@gdhal, glad the CMX-2 worked for you also. I’ve tried furman, a custom made DC blocker, PS Audio humbuster and upc-200, plus others. PS Audio helped cut the DC hum but all killed dynamics except the CMX-2.

I've fought DC transformer hum since I've moved into my house 7 years ago with 3 different preamps and multiple conditioners / filters. The only one that I found to help the DC situation without killing system dynamics is the Emotiva CMX-2 DC Bloc... 
We've owned B&W speakers since late 80's
@oldtonew2112, how did you do with the insurance company and the payout on the incident? It seems like there was just a thread discussing whether we need additional coverage for media and equipment or should our general homeowners policy cover eve... 
Which amplifier (integrated) would you recommend for Monitor Audio PL speakers
I have the following for sale with many great reviews. Audio Refinement / YBA gear has that warm yet defined sound you are looking for:http://www.usaudiomart.com/details/649335001-seattle-audio-refinement-complete-system-tekton-65t-lin...Will sell... 
Line Conditioner - Small (3 outlets or less)
@mjmch2003, no real sonic improvements as I have good stuff upstream (see system details). It did help eliminate DC coming in from the power company's main line.  
Line Conditioner - Small (3 outlets or less)
I really like the Emotiva CMX-2 DC Blocker and Line Filter that I use.  First DC blocker that didn't hurt dynamics in my system and helped removed DC from my mains line.  Nice price also... 
Journey ending speakers
ProAc Studio 148s with SEV9 Soundocity Outriggers.  Love the sound and the bang for the buck (about $3200 total).  Don't see myself spending more or getting different ones. 
Your choice - TT, Arm, Stage, Cartridge - $5000 budget
Rega P6 w/ TTPSU, Herbie way excellent mat, AT-33PTG/II low MC from 2juki on eBay, Jasmine 2 box phono stage and a vacuum or ultrasonic record cleaner. Each item should be around $500 except the turntable which is $1500. Very similar to what I hav... 
Schiit Mani - Sent in for repair, no response. Looking for rec's on a replacement preamp
I really my Jasmine LP2 mkII (about $400 used) and my AT-33PTG/II low MC (about $500 from 2juki on ebay) on my modified RP6 (see system details). 
What is your speaker ownership history since 1995?
I will start with 1990ish time frame as that is when I was in college and first dug into hifi:- some kind of 3 way plus passive radiator tower, maybe made by Eclipse?- KEF Uni-Q 102 2- Acoustic Research AR9- Linn Tukan w/ sound organisation stands... 
Warm, rich sounding interconnects?
And you should be able to get 2 sets of RCAs and one magic power cable I mentioned above for under $400 total.  
Warm, rich sounding interconnects?
Mogami 2549 with KLEI copper harmony plus signal Cable magic power cord will put things to the warm side. That’s what I use. Great sound at great prices. You can get the RCAs made (I had mine shotgunned / ground floated at one end) at Douglas Conn... 
whats the very best sounding cables for realistic money
See the custom cable ensemble I am using on my system details page.
