Contact Cleaner Recommendations??
Yes, you can use Kontak on your power cable connectors. I also use Kontak on all my connections. 
can mundorf supreme caps be used for AC filtering
I think you can do better with an Alan Maher filter. The single cap filter you are addressing is bandwidth-limited. http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100000620623011&hiq=alan%2Cmaher&ref=search#!/photo.php?pid=42814&id=100000620... 
NOS Western Electric wire used for power cables??
After plugging these Mojo power cords into my system, it was a very cool thing to hear musical details come through that weren't there with more expensive power cords. Very cool, indeed. (o:

New JJ Tesla tubes
I agree with the few who have said that the JJ 12ax7 don't sound very good. I much more enjoy both the early Siemens 12ax7(Ecc83) with the dual support on the getter and the infamous Mullard late 50's with the "D" getter. However, the new JJ EL84 ...
