Solid Silver Ethernet Cable?
Although not silver, MeiCord of Germany appear to have quite a few fans. 
Rogue Audio M 180 fuse upgrade
Hi, Furutech fuses make a great upgrade however you do need to use the same rating / type (eg slow or fast blow, probably the former) as the factory recommend as they're there to protect. I've had two Rogue amps a while back and they're great plus... 
Cartridge and step up / riaa for TW Acustic Raven
A friend has this very turntable/arm combination and uses a Miyabi (47?) cartridge - it sounds fabulous! I don't recall what phono amp he was using when I heard it about a year ago but has since bought the TW one. Drop me a PM and I can put you in... 
Esoteric X-01 power cord
Cerrot - yes I'm using the balanced outputs. 
Esoteric X-01 power cord
Thanks all for your (mostly) helpful suggestions. I intentionally kept the details of my system quiet, firstly, because you're unlikely to have experience of them (UK cottage industry manufacturer, which have been extensively tweaked) and, secondl... 
Audio Grade Fuse, Anyone?
I've just returned from a trip to the Far East, where a dealer friend of mine gave me an audition of the latest power house fuses against both the original and latest HFT fuses in a cd transport. The magnitude of improvement given by the platinum ... 
Mating power cords with APL 3910
i replaced the epiphany feeding my hydra 8 with the 'x' version and the latter was bigger, more open and showed greater frequency extension. that said, it's also rather expensive. i recently had the opportunity to compare with a 20amp wolff gain a... 
Best phono DIN/RCA cable

Mating power cords with APL 3910
I can't specifically respond to how the APL mates with different brands however I can recount my experiences with a number of high end cords on my Audio Synthesis Transcend / Dax Discrete front end. I also use a Hydra 8. For quite a while, I used ... 
Review: Michael Wolff Cables
I can fully endorse the sentiments Tubemiser has shared with us above, on both the excellent product and the exceptional level of service provided. I too was an early adopter to the original Grover Wolff Empress cables (both interconnect and speak... 
Shortlist of Speaker Cables/ICs: advice/opinions
i'd give a 3rd recommendation to the empress products. i live in UK and the 60 day period applies internationally. you need to be realistic about the cost of shipping; is a small price to pay in the overall scheme of things. 
Empress and Michael Wolff cables
I recently bought a set of empress ics and spkr cables and have been delighted with the results. I gave them a week of burn-in time on the audio dharma cable cooker before listening. Initially they seemed competent but uninspiring; then i discover... 
WBT Nextgens
I've now had my dax returned from the mods and it's still burning in. This unit was previously fitted with rca midlines and AS remarked the nextgens were notably superior. This is easily verifiable as the unit has two pairs of rca outputs for biam... 
WBT Nextgens
In case anyone's thinking about doing this, I can confirm that the results were indeed worthwhile. I put a pair of the silver wbt jacks into my rogue amp at the weekend and there was a definite improvement in transparency and palpability. the dac'... 
Retubing CJ 140 amp
I've just received a cryo'd nos 6h23 (6922 replacement) from www.tubeman.com; this is already sounding very promising despite despite not having burnt in.
