Thanks all for great suggestions! @rcprince I sent you a PM re Reference 3A Grand Veena@tomic601 The Quattro CT "looks" indeed like a good candidate and the reviews are great.

Thanks gents for the tips on packaging, I was also gearing towards the use of pink sheets and spraying insulation foam before closing the crate to ensure things don't rattle doing the long journey across the globe.If the grand total shipping costs...

Thanks all for the (continued) suggestions! Silhouettes like the KEF Blade, SF Olympia would suit us best.Guess I should have mentioned earlier that aesthetics is this time important. We may end up in an apartment in Manhattan. Also, I am thinkin...

@ Audio Doctor The current room (about 30x24ft and tall enough, sloping upward) is big enough but I need to factor in a smaller room when we move in 2 years. I am not looking to have the same sound as the Sovereign 2001s, just saying I like the wa... 
Furutech AC Receptacles
Peter (pbnaudio)You may remember that I contacted you when you were embarking on that project many summers ago so I am aware of what you were trying to achieve. A switch is indeed the solution. I have, like hdm, deployed the ancient methodology of...

+1 salectricfunny to see this kind of question pop up on a regular interval, similar as those questioning a if cables can make a difference.My experience after 8+ years of tweaking with isolation/resonance control, power and cables: absolutely the... 
Cerious Technologies NEW Graphene Cables
+1 lak, I have the same experience re GE and CPT. I esp appreciate Bob's speaker cables./Dave (dlcockrum): I understand where you are coming from and at times many like us have been fooled. But considering the price of GE cables and the sincere co...

+1 jond on rating the GE cables, the SC are quite astonishing considering their price point.John, the GE is way better than the Nano Signature I had in my system, simply no comparison. C'mon, it's just a fraction of the costs of the HFC cables you... 
Synergistic Research Tesla Plex SE V Furutech GTX
After years of using Furutech GTX-R (IME much better than the TeslaPlex SE), I upgraded to the NCF variant and it is a great upgrade. IMO great value/money compared to other tweaks. 
Coupling or Decoupling speakers?
+1 for the Sistrum stands which works best in my 2nd system on concrete floor and I have Star Sound gear under my DAC and mono blocks. Very neutral sound.Under my heavy speakers in my main system, the Stillpoints Ultra 5 works best on suspended fl...

Hi Bob, hug and a belated congrats back to you! Your business philosophy is a very sound one with your current product offerings. As for some of the comments, I prefer a longer wait for a product with extreme price/quality ratio than what the indu... 
Adcom a weak link?
Although I never had the Adcom HT series, I also owned the 555 and the 565 mono blocks. If the 565 were modded (input resistors, caps upgrade, etc), they should be keepers. But I have compared the B&K ST and Sonata vs the B&K AV series amp...

Thanks lak for the comments on the CT GE digital cable, looks like I need to add another item on my order for Bob. 
Direction of aftermarket fuses (only for believers!)
Ralph, how should I interpret this?>> ^^ Do you understand how power cords are wired? If you get it wrong, Bad Things happen! Al, I appreciate your urge not to jump to conclusion but isn't experimenting that got many further? Of course, one ...
