Keith the Furutech GTX NCF receptacles have shipped to me, I'll be installing them right next to the GTX-R for comparison but will take a while to break-in. Will report back my thoughts.

Keith I've been using the Hi-Fi Supreme fuses for awhile now and really like them. I do have a few left some 3amp and 5amp slow blow if interested.

My 40 years experience is different but that's what makes this hobby so great we can agree to disagree! :-) This is also with a variety of equipment. My amps alone consist of Atmasphere Novacron's , Merrill Veritas and Bricasti M28's. (Dealer disc...

I started with The 2 then went to The One then the 0.8 and ended with the 0.3 interconnects. As I went up in the line the clarity and speed and most important the reality and timing and space of everything just increased and the biggest difference...

No and have no desire to at this time.

I wouldn't upgrade my own Furutech GTX outlets, it's not that big a deal (and you know what they cost me!)  but if you ever get a new ac cord then it's definitely worth it to use these new connectors.

Have had the 0.3 for a few months now. To be honest I didn’t like a full loom of Tara interconnects, I found the sound a bit lean and lacking emotion. Using Audiomica Consequence series cables throughout and a new power cord from Bulgaria from S.I...

Power cords at ridiculous prices?
For more than 25 years now I've always thought power cords made more of a difference than speaker cables or interconnects, and still feel that way! I just received a new cord from S.I.N. Audio and all I can say is WOW! Don't even know the cost yet... 
Where did you sink the most cash into?
WIFE no contest! 
Best tube dac available?
wisnon ~ Yes I understood what the OP was asking but since I had some experience with a tubed DAC (and also an AYON tubed dac) I just threw in my 2 cents worth. And while the BIG6 was wonderful I'm sure the more expensive Lampi's sound better, the... 
Best tube dac available?
I owned a Lampi BIG 6 (did a LOT of tube rolling) and it was wonderful then heard a Bricasti M1 and it was head and shoulders above the tubed Lampi in my system. The M1 was more dimensional and the soundstage deeper and wider. Have not looked back...
