Audioquest WEL innerconnects are the older models the same as current model?
I usually like Audioquest in my system, but for some reason WEL was not good at all.....very much surprised.  The WEL's were well broken in after coming from the NY Audio show. 
Do IC and Power Cables Really Make a Difference?
In MY system, there was no greater bump up than the insertion of good power cords.   I have an all balanced system (xlr)  There is only a very bit of difference in the many fancy cables I tried.....not so with speaker cables. 
FM antennas.............Does ANBODY still make them?
I just saw an fm folded dipol at HomeDepot

Everyone loves what they own and then dumps it.  The audiophile way 
How do you move HEAVY speakers with sharp spikes without lifting?
Yup...I had to do that with mine.   Go to Home Depot and get "SuperSliders"...  they come in a package of 4.   There is one kind for hardwood flooring, and another for carpet.  Put these under the spikes of the speaker....I would put protection be... 
Best Speaker cable in the $400.00-$500.00 range for 2 meters
Look to ClearDay cables....he has sample you can try before you buy.   These were the best for my system after checking all those high priced brands.

I don't agree on "colorful"....   I think it's one of the best cables made today.   (Perhaps the "colorful" and midrange blandness was from the associated components.)   In My system the cables were great. 
My daughter pushed my tweeter in-HELP!
Yup....unless you get the speaker reconed.....it will always maintain its' creases.   I had a Vandersteen midrange reconed......about 100 dollars. 
Leaving Solid State Equipment on all the Time
My Ayre equipment sends a warming charge through all the components even though they're off.  They take no time to sound great. 
Accurate vs Musical
What do these words mean....   The same piece played by the same orchestra sounds different in different spaces.   There is no "right" 
What will become of my beloved CDs?
....and life goes on.... 
Narrowed to 3: 802D3, Sopra 3, Reference 3
Why would you not have Vandersteen speakers on your search list?  MayorWest......AQ Water XLR's are excellent cables.....however, in my experience, the differences in XLR cables are minimal (if you are using truly balanced amps) 
Just curious if anyone knows..
it's a secret guy......   
Help with counterweight on VPI JMW 3d tonearm
Dave - the early 3D's worked with friction (as you found out)....the newer ones have the set screw again.  Harry told me to use some light oil, but I didn't tell you that because sometimes its very difficult to take the sheen of oil off the arm. 
Totem Acoustic Forest Signatures
I have an all Ayre system and WEL sigs did nothing good for my system.   It sure looks as though you need a better balanced system rather than spend on expensive cables.
