Flat copper speaker cables
ortodox - "Captain wrote to me , he must be a good  engineer. "  I do not know if he is an engineer, but he is their SALES person.    I have two 6' AE power cables sitting in a box (as emergency back up cables).  Please let me know if you want t... 
Flat copper speaker cables
If it helps... I have had Audio Envy in my current system; (-1) - having tried several brands, they were uniquely harsh and fatiguing with rock, jazz and classical (strings, brass, symbols)    
Speaker cable recommendations
+1 for Anticables - I am using two pair of copper speaker cables to bi-wire my speakers.  The SQ improves with every upgrade that I make to my system.  They are NOT a limiting the SQ in any meaningful way: a great endorsement for such inexpensive ... 
Maintaining Optimal Electrical Connections
lowrider57 Thanks for the details regarding your experience using the D5.   Personally, I never considered putting a cleaner into a female outlet (even one that is shut off at the breaker).  That seems to be asking for trouble.  More to the poin...

erik_squires Thanks for the warning regarding AC wiring.  I have already replaced the outlet with a hospital-grade Leviton unit (pure copper, tight grip).   With that being said, I have powered speakers and am considering using D100L on that con...

lowrider57 Wondering - did you use DeToxit D5 on power sources, line-level wiring, or both?

Better Records vs MoFi
Tochsii -  Funny thing, I sold my Old-School Harvest DSOTM about two weeks ago. But before I did, I did a full length, side-to-side comparison against my MoFi copy.  It was not even close.  The MoFi was so much better.  Better clarity, better dy... 
Better Records vs MoFi
The BR website currently has two copies of Beatles for Sale listed at ~$170 & $300 (rounded up one cent), so I pulled my copy off the shelf and gave it a spin.  I rate both sides as "Mint Minus" (BR term, $300+), with just one light tick in t... 
Oxidation on surface of cable under clear jacket
 Hi Deanrk, When I started building my first Hi-Fi system, decades ago, I built my own speaker cables.  They had clear shielding, and eventually noticed the same oxidation problem that you experienced.  So, I started searching for a replacement.....

Hi Everyone, Thanks for all of insightful responses.  I will speak with my wife... ;-) and Happy Valentine's Day 2023
