@beeswax,Go to the Capital Audiofest website/homepage and look under "contact us" (top, upper right). There you'll find contact information for the individual who owns the event. A good place to start...with your message.  
Zavfino
I will add another positive vote for Zavfino. I own two of their power cords; the Magestic MKII and the Fina. Both are very well constructed, quiet and in no way forward in terms of sound. The only slight caution is that neither power cord is very...

Helping a kid out
You might consider the Lounge Audio LCR MKIII @  $300. With a direct-to-consumer business model, that $300 goes a long way. I have first hand experience using an earlier version and found it to be an excellent and satisfying performer.

Class D for a Tube Lover
I own a Pass Labs Aleph 30 (30 watts, Class A) that is exceptional. And, it’s also an exceptional space heater. On a whim I recently purchased a PS Audio Stellar S300 amplifier for the sole purpose of trying Class D amplification. After about 100 ...
