2017 Honest Cabling that doesn’t promote bankruptcy
I've gotta agree with the Wolf's suggestion on Morrow.  They preserve the music without the glare and sometimes harshness of stranded wire.  I'm currently waiting on a couple more pairs I've ordered.   
Tekton Double Impact & Comb Filtering
How many coaxial speakers have you owned, Ken?  I mean speakers like the Kef LS50, with an actual coaxial driver?  I don't need to speculate, I've got a pair of coaxials right now. 
Tekton Double Impact & Comb Filtering
Well the only real way to get true "co-axial" effect is to get speakers with coaxial drivers.  I recommend Tannoy and Kef, and I'm sure there are others. 
Ugly vs Gogeous speakers
Yeah, it’s quite odd about the Tektons. The box designs are all the old rectangle cabinet, now only used in the entry level stuff. Even Pioneer has curved cabinets in their FP-FS52’s that go for under $300.And the paint colors that they offer are ... 
Ugly vs Gogeous speakers
Imhififan, I'm not sure which, but I can't stop staring at them.  They're like robots! 
Parasound Halo Integrated.
Thank you, those components are indeed pretty special, and I'm not surprised that the Halo Integrated couldn't match them.  My DAC and separate phono pre are pretty basic stuff so I might see an upgrade in SQ all the way around.  Schiit Mani and B... 
Ugly vs Gogeous speakers
I recently came across a speaker brand that has models costing even up to 3-5000, with the top model costing $12,000.  Everyone of their models fell off the ugly bus, I kid you not.  Owners warn NOT to try the speaker grills.  These Tekton models ... 
Parasound Halo Integrated.
Ah, but of course you are missing the all important details.  What DAC and separate phono stage sounded better you yourself? 
Tekton Double Impact & Comb Filtering
And where did you get that information about a co-axial effect?  The Tekton web site? 
Parasound Halo Integrated.
I'll venture an opinion on that.  For those that have a critique of the LS50's, harshness or brightness in the upper registers is something mentioned.  I owned the P7 and A21 and found them quite good, but one or the other did not reveal the last ... 
Parasound Halo Integrated.
Thanks so much! I’ve had my eye on the Parasound.  It apparently has a great phono and dac section. 
Parasound Halo Integrated.
If you don't mind, michaela, what speakers are you pairing with the Parasound, and how do you find the sound?  Any cabling preferences? 
Silly prices for Nordost cables
Class envy is such a waste of time.  Comparing cable manufacturers to religion is pretty rich, since the deniers tend to be on crusades as they try to stamp out any belief in cable performance in thread after thread.  Can't we all just get along? ... 
Morrow SP7 Upgrade.
I ordered the MA5 on Sept 3, with Eichmanns and a 10 day burn and from what I've read, arrival could take almost a month.  In the mean time, I ordered a pair of MA1.1 since their trade in program makes prices so attractive.  The second pair I've o... 
Morrow SP7 Upgrade.
Some of Sheryl Crow's stuff is really done well.  A good recording really excels with a decent system for sure.
