Anyone compared GoldenEar Triton 7 with Triton Reference?
I know this opens a can of worms, but, why do you want to stick with GE?There's a chaotic, confusing world of myriad speakers out there. 
Any reviews of anticable power cables?
You're not just limited to those two.  There are plenty of woven power cables at different price points.  See Russ Andrews, LessLoss; others will chime in with other manufacturers. 
Classical composers, symphonies
@mamboni Pulled the Unicorn-Kanchana and Chandos off the shelf.  How many other Audiogoners have 2 recordings of Gliere #3, I wonder.  I checked the two Farberman CDs and visually they look OK.  Haven't listened in a while, so must remedy that.

Moscheles concerto #3.  The older Supraphon recording, rather than Hyperion.  Surprising enjoyable.  Mozart meets Romanticism. 
One speaker observation from the New York Hifi show.
Toe-in or lack of same is also very often used to tame or heighten the treble. It all depends on the tweeter’s lateral performance and how much output drops off off-axis. To some degree this may outweigh imaging. Also, I think some speakers are sp... 
Has anyone tried these stunning new CPT power cord?

Is the NuPrime CDT 9 Pro a Best Kept Secret?
Yes, that was already identified by @celander back on page 1.  I've now identified the tray and clamper.  So far everything is Philips-sourced. 
Thinking about a new, lower end CD Player
Onkyo, Cambridge, NAD, Yamaha, Marantz, Denon, if you're buying new.  Some pretty decent choices there. 
Am I the only one wiht speaker cozys ?
Reference 3A had the right idea with Nextel.

Answer: Weber. Rosel/Blomstedt.  Very enjoyable, but not transcendent. BTW, can you believe that the Hyperion Romantic Piano Concerto series is up to 77?  Takes the notion of completist to a whole new level...

Well, here's the tray and clamper and who knows what other parts identified, at least.  Philips DVDhttps://sparedparts.com/products/philips_dvd_loader_complete_996510010819_996510017573  
Capitol Audio Fest and the New York Audio a trend is emmerging
@audiotroy I’m sorry, you got that wrong. Were you actually at CAF? I was referring to Command Performance sets ups and Deja Vu set up, two highly recommendable stores by the way.  Tenacious also probably falls into that category.
