Who makes budget speaker cables which are truly “good” or “exceptional” in quality?
UPOCC copper cables from Audio Envy in Colorado.       http://audioenvy.com/product/speaker/nv-sp1/ 
Clarity Cap CMR Impressions
Actually, the Audyn TC goes up to 4.7uf. I have a pair I'm going to put in my Reference 3A Dulcet. I already have a 3.3uf TC Max in my Ref 3a Master Control and it sounds very good. The sound is very balanced from top to bottom so I'm not going to... 
Clarity Cap CMR Impressions
Has anyone compared an Audyn True Copper cap to a Claritycap CMR in a tweeter crossover ? I would like to know what differences you heard after break-in of each cap in that location. 
Audio Horizons TP 2.0 Preamplifier
This is an old thread that died a while back, but if anyone still has their AH preamp, I bought a quad of Black Gate capacitors, 470uf, 160v from Joseph and mounted them to the chassis to replace the four caps on the main pcb. After a long break-i... 
Acoustic Zen Crescendo speaker crossover capacitors ... who makes them?
I am a firm believer in upgrading with better quality capacitors. I have improved my Reference 3a Dulcet and MMC crossovers with Audyn True Copper Max with spectacular improvements. I also have refurbished at least six vintage tuners by replacing ... 
Acoustic Zen Crescendo speaker crossover capacitors ... who makes them?
I recently emailed Robert Lee, owner of Acoustic Zen, telling him that I was following a thread on Audiogon where certain people had upgraded the crossovers in their Crescendo speakers with superior boutique parts with excellent results. I didn't ...

Inexpensive speaker cables
The best value I've found, and I've tried many, are these from an obscure company in Colorado called Audio Envy.      http://audioenvy.com/product/speaker/nv-sp5-darkblue/         
Synergistic Red Fuse ...
Astro58go,    Do you still have a Hifi-Tuning fuse in your DNA 225 amp? Have you listened to your amp with a standard(non-audiophile) fuse? I am curious if you would hear a difference.

Thank you, Charles.

Just a quick comment on Trolls: I read somewhere that when you respond to a troll, you are basically feeding him. When you ignore the troll, he grows hungry and goes somewhere else to be fed. Just saying...

Nyame,    Oregonpapa has mentioned in a few posts how much he likes the Von Gaylord interconnects. I also have a loom of the Von Gaylord interconnects in my system, a mix of the top of the line, 7000s and the next step down( previous totl) Chinchi...

One of the things that makes me a little nervous, other than the exhorbitant price of the SR Black duplex, is the nickel plating on the ears and backstrap. I have never liked the sound of nickel-plated anything in the audio chain. Maybe their tesl...

I have wondered where SR bought their SR Black duplex. I did some googling and found a duplex that looks very similar. Hmmmm...   http://www.lowes.com/pd/Pass-Seymour-Legrand-20-Amp-125-Volt-Black-Indoor-Duplex-Wall-Tamper-Resista...
