Audioman58, Have you done any comparisons of the Ampohm Myler-in-oils to the Duelund VSF caps? 
What's a good power cord for conrad-johnson CT5?
I haven't heard CJ's teflon caps, but the V-caps take from 400-600 hours to fully open up and smooth out.

Speaking of Tony Gee, did you see his recent review of the Ampohm polyester-in-oil cap? I ordered a pair from The Tube Store to try in my preamp outputs. I'll bet these would sound great in your Klipsch for a lot less money. Amp Ohm FE-XAL-AL 630... 
An indoor FM tuner better than the Terk FM+?
You might try a C.Crane FM Reflect antenna. I have one that performs well in a fairly mountainous area. I mainly listen to NPR, 88.5. http://www.amazon.com/C-Crane-FM-Reflect-Antenna/dp/B000EFHPKO  
Synergistic New Tesla Line...Any comments?
Could someone provide a link to buy these new MIG footers? Is there any information on their construction and what they are made of? 
Audio Horizons TP 2.0 Preamplifier
I was just looking at a photo of the insides of a TP 2.1 preamp in a current AH ad. The link is to a photo. I'm curious of what changes have been made lately. Based on the photo, it looks like the power supply board has been changed back to the TP... 
Crossover component upgrade, DUELUND????
Pedrillo, Read through the posts on member Dgarretson's system. He has extensively modified his Merlin speakers. http://forum.audiogon.com/cgi-bin/fr.pl?vaslt&1140494870&openmine&Sherod&4&5&st0

Your Audiocap link no longer has a page. Is there any further info on Ampohm caps? The Tubestore still has inventory of this new line. I recently purchased a pair of the Polyester-in-oil caps to try in my preamp outputs. For speaker cross-overs, H... 
Crossover component upgrade, DUELUND????
Pedrillo, I also just ordered a pair of the polyester-in-oil version to experiment in my tube preamp output couplers. Here's a link of some reviews on the Tubestore site where I purchased my caps: http://thetubestore.com/ampohmreviews.html#ampoh... 
Black Gate caps
From the Stereophile article: "One audio manufacturer we spoke with speculated that Rubycon, the firm that manufactured the Black Gate capacitors, was concerned over the expiration of the technology's patents, which date to the mid-1970s. Anothe... 
Black Gate caps
It was a sad day for me when Rubycon announced that they were shutting down production of the Blackgate caps. A large chunk of their inventory was sold to Parts Connexion in Canada, but the inventory is slowly being depleted. Many values and model... 
Shunyatas New CX series
Guido, Thanks for your thoughts on the new King Cobra CX. I currently have the Python CX and based on my experience with the previous versions of the Pythons, the new CX is a leap forward in better performance. You also hit it on the nose with the... 
Audio Horizons TP 2.0 Preamplifier
I don't follow Postive Feedback much, but is it normal for them to give a product like a preamp an award without a review? It's been three months since that announcement, yet no more discussion about it from PF. Also, is the reason Joseph hasn't a... 
Audio Horizons TP 2.0 Preamplifier
Did Joseph mention if he'll have an upgrade program for current owners for the new TP 2.2? I'm curious what changes have been made to the new 2.2 preamp. Are you getting yours upgraded?
