Cary 805B Question
The first tube - 6SN7.  
UPS Driver Literally Drops Package with New Hana Umami Red
Cartridges are easy to package for shipping. All I have bought from eBay have arrived safely despite a variety of packaging used! So don't worry about it!  
Do CD Transports benefit much from upgraded power cords?
NO! Same for a microwave, hair dryer, fan, turntable.   
Planar headphones
HiFi Man is a good choice for a magnetic planar headset. Available for around $500. I wouldn't spend more!  
What would your "perfect speaker" sound like.
20 to 20khz and 100db sensitivity. Able to hold it in the palm of my hand!  
Used Which amp for B&W 802 Matrix series 3 around or under 1000?
Perreaux made excellent SS gear! Why they are overlooked beats me!  
Daisy Chaining- Yamaha S-701 and Mitsubishi DA10dc Amp/Mitsubishi Da-P20 Preamp
Without a tape-out on the Yamaha it won't work! That's strange! Even all the old Jap receivers had tape-out jacks! Are you sure you haven't overlooked the tape-out jacks?  
Used Which amp for B&W 802 Matrix series 3 around or under 1000?
The Plinius weighs less than 37 lbs and is $1100.  The Perreaux weighs 68 lbs and costs less! Which do you think has a better power supply?  
Used Which amp for B&W 802 Matrix series 3 around or under 1000?
Perreaux 2150B for around $900 on eBay. 340/680/920wpc@8/4/2ohms. Made in New Zealand like Plinius. A better amp for the money doesn't exist! I have one for use with power-hungry speakers like my DQ10's!  
Affordable SS that sound like Tubes
Take any SS amp and hang an 8 ohm resistor on the outputs. Voila! Tube-like sound as you lower the damping factor!  
Nordost reference jumpers vs second set of cables
I am sure that Synergistic Research will be happy to sell you a cryo-ed Rhodium-plated pair of jumpers for $500!  
Nordost reference jumpers vs second set of cables
Why do many here think that two or three inches of metal have an effect upon the sound of a speaker?   
Nordost reference jumpers vs second set of cables
If you are a high roller get another set of Heimdall's. Otherwise the cheap B&W jumpers will do just fine! And save you thousands!
