Traditional Brands vs. "Audiophile" Brands

Nordost Vahalla or Mit Oracle

Audible illusions Modulus 3A or Klyne 6L
I have owned the AI M3 and now the L2. Amazing pre's. Bests my Rowland Concerto in quite a number of ways. As far a quality, never had any problems. 
Mint LP Solution
Thanks for the info Circleman. I have, for quite a long while, been mixing my own solution. I purchased a Gallon of LAST cleaning fluid, and have been diluting it with the highest grade alcohol solution (laboratory grade). This, along with my self... 
HELP I need information about interconnects
