Mono blocks that can provide that golden sound...
Solar Panels 
VPI Super Scoutmaster Cartridge ?
If you're looking for state of the art with VPI tuntables....Harry himself uses the Benz LPS in his home system. 
Problem matching Benz LP S w/ SME V or IV.Vi arm ?
When I traded my LP for the LPS, I was prepared for an upgrade but not to this extent. The LPS does everything the LP did, but much better. The things that really get to me is how fast the LPS is. Percussion has a start and stop that the LP didn't... 
Servicing amplifiers from very small companies?

Benz LPS I doubt if you can find better 
VPI Rim Drive vibrations

nordost and magnepan
I noticed that there is a pair of anticables speaker cables on the Audioasylum classified for 1/2 price. 
speaker wire/interconnects for JL F113
Erictye...The only way to know the difference any cable makes is to try it in your own system. I personally like to have a cable with no personality of its own and use Anti-Cables which are very inexpensive and very good. If you go to Audioasylum ...
