Cable manufacturers?
@ hasmarto,IIRC there are 6? places that make OCC using the hardware. I don't know how many are 'approved', in any case. My guess was and is an off the cuff guess on qualities, as I stopped investigating wire, when I stumbled into the understandin... 
Parasound HCA-1500 or alternative
the 990, 1080 rotels are also premium amps for bargain prices, if you liked the hca-1500's qualities. they used (the 990 anyway) what are essentially dnm slit foil main power supply capacitors. These were not cheap. I'd rate them in the same categ... 
UL gets into the music quality / branding market
It's always good to remember that UL is a private company that needs to make a profit. 
Parasound HCA-1500 or alternative
you can still get a 1500 for $400-500, and they show up on the 'bay every now and then. You'll have to wait patiently, though.

I don’t think it is possible to make 8 9’s copper or 8 9’s purity in anything. But I’m ready to be wrong about that.the OCC processes, is, IIRC... used for making the physically longest known and 'commercially realized' single crystals in copper w... 
Fuses fuses fuses
Eaton and Littlefuse makes some beryllium copper silver plated fuseholders. Just a quick search away..at digikey, for example. 
Fuses fuses fuses
good fuse-holders are generally copper alloy, silver plated in many cases, are available. Non magnetic direct plating, in some. (no magnetic intermediary plating, ie nickel based) 
Thorens TD 125 MK /125 mkII
IIRC, all the 125 inner platters are the same and ’fit’ together. ie, a 125 inner will work on a 166, or 165,160 or 145, and so on.I’d check on that with a second opinion, but IIRC, they will all fit one anothers’ given bearing well. It’s the "if ...

It takes a certain depth of self awareness and intellect to derive the given point in logic, and it’s origins in the world of logic.The vaster components of human reality reject it (ie the bulk of humanity), due to the origins of ’mind’ ...and log...

It is always good to remember that ’objectivity’ in all derivations of the word and it’s attached vectors and meanings..... exists solely at the will, whim, desires, aims, and projected stance - of an exclusively subjective reality. Objectivity is...

We make our own 'conductor'. Not 'wire', in this case. :) 
Do female audiophiles exist
(1) as written, a politically incorrect original post just waiting to flame up.(2) one of the largest audio dealers in Toronto is a member of the fairer sex. I’ve sold teo GC cables to about 4 women, probably members of this forum, or at least rea...

Those spartons are gorgeous enough to get just about anyone all wiggly inside.Hovland did some nice stuff, but those spartons, are just - wow.Want. Very much want. And copies simply will not do. 
Most Beautiful Receiver / Integrated - Ever was... ?
I've owned a few (4?) over the years...and kept going back to them. Pioneer sx-1280:http://cigh.net/SX1280thumbs/IMG1.JPGConsidering what people want for them these days, I'm not likely to have another. Too much hassle.That Spartan Nocturne is ver... 
Better quality replacement for PEERLESS Tymphany 830669 woofers
Specs seen to indicate it is a sealed box drive, and most of the line up above that, is designed for ported boxes.The peerless drivers are quite good. Well made for the money.Matching a new driver, in a three way, is a near impossible task. Don't ...
