Synergistic Research Foundation Cables
High voltage conditioning process is voodoo science! Another chapter in the Flat Earth Science textbook.  
How far is your SUT from your Phono Pre/Preamp?
Cable from SUT to phono stage should be kept short (less than 1 ft) to avoid capacitive loading/hi frequency roll off. Ground wire from SUT to phono.  
Bose 901's in an acoustically treated room?
The 901's sold well because they looked futuristic on their pedestal stands - not because of their SQ. They didn't look like all those boring box speakers of the late 60's!  
Zavfino Fusion versus Cardas Clear/Refection: anyone compare?
I read the Cardas marketing baloney! And baloney it is!  
Zavfino Fusion versus Cardas Clear/Refection: anyone compare?
Easy! Just buy the cheaper brand!   
What CD spinning tonight?
Blue Oyster Cult - Secret Treaties - tracks 7 and 8 are particularly great! ASTRONOMY!  
Bose 901's in an acoustically treated room?
The 501 was a much better speaker because it had a front-firing 10inch woofer and two of the 3inch rear-firing at left and right angles. I listened to them and was impressed! Good bass and a nice airy upper range.  
Shielded cable between pre and SET amp
Are you sure the hum isn't in the amp itself due to power supply filtering/internal wiring/grounding?  
Ortofon SPU Royal G Mk II is wonderful
What is the stylus profile?  
Why are people paying these stupid tube prices?
Maybe Shuguang in China can increase production?   
Bose 901's in an acoustically treated room?
Regarding the 901’s: you cannot get good bass out of  9 small 3inch drivers no matter how many watts you pump into them! They are strictly midrange speakers!  
Changes to older system
I would try placing the speakers right against the wall to take advantage of boundary reinforcement. That is what my Snell Type A's use. Contrary to what above poster rickysnit claims I find no sonic differences between any cables. Including power...

Try moving your ICs around to a different location.  
Cable curmudgeon
The greater the cost the more influence confirmation bias is a factor. This applies to all components. Someone buying a $600 power cord is naturally going to hear it as "better" than a $6 cord. Blind testing between these should be done but rarely... 
Is This the Essence of "The Audiophile Dilemma?
Take a look at Jays Audio Lab on FB! He's gone through over 60 amps in his search for perfection! IMO this is certifiable behavior - time to call the men in white coats!
