Ribbon Cables vs. Standard
As far as I am aware, Nordost, Harmonic Tech, and Neotech are the principal manufacturers of "flat" cables with multiple wires. Harmonic Tech already posted above. Silversmith and Goertz make the true ribbon cable. There are probably others... 
Anyone know where the Virtual Systems went?
Working for me.  You just need to go to details first.  
Ribbon Cables vs. Standard
I think the theory behind something like this: and something like this: is going to be very different. Anyone heard both styles?  
Mozart-Clarinet Quintet
As far as I can see, Buffet-Crampon and LeBlanc (two of the premier French clarinet makers) have offerings in the field of modern basset clarinets.  There are probably others. Every other instrument will have their own group of specialized makers.  
Amplifier recommendation
March is one of the companies that has started building amps with the latest Purifi module.  
Mozart-Clarinet Quintet
Brand new recording of the Mozart concerto with Basset + a modern concerto written for Basset. https://www.amazon.com/Flow-Concertos-Annelien-Van-Wauwe/dp/B09RG8FQ6Z/ref=sr_1_1?crid=2T5V8M8F0M716&keywords=Annelien+Van+Wauwe&qid=1662483552... 
Why not?
AGD is another company that includes a very nice high quality PC with each of its products.  
Backert Rhumba 1.3 OR Modwright LS 100 ?
@soix There's quite a lot of useful info. in this thread. https://forum.audiogon.com/discussions/tube-rolling-advice-for-the-backert-labs-rhumba-extreme  
Did you notice....
Oh no!  Darko has spoken!    
Shave your CDs
Applying Old Spice to both sides after shaving improves tone, though you do have to let it settle down for a couple of minutes first.  
Best High Current amplifiers stable into low impedances
Seems like several of the boutique Purifi builders, Apollon, Rouge, VTV, March, are using the new module, but none of the big boys have come out with a new model yet, AFAIK.  
Looking for Speaker Recommendations
If the OP considers Vandersteen "possibly too wide" (see his post above) then a lot of these recommendations are not going to work.  
Class D Amplification Announcement
I bought a cheap Emotiva class A/B amp, but it didn't do it for me, so I tossed in it the trash.  Based on that experience, I dismissed class A/B as an inferior amplifier topology.  
recommended speakers for Raven Blackhawk 3.1
Once again, any of Fritz's models are easy to drive, and sound excellent.  
Help fine-tune my speaker search
OK, so now the other place you need to go is Verdant Audio in Jersey City.
