Tekton Electon/DI compares to what?
Mofo, keep on boosting Tekton, maybe you can get them some more sales.  With your clown act, no doubt you were the entertainment at the kiddie tables.  Are you any good with making animals out of balloons?   
Tekton Electon/DI compares to what?
That's awfully generous of you mofojo, you sure are a great Tekton booster! 
Best Budget RCA cables
Here’s a third recommendation for solid core based cables. The OP doesn’t mention his gear, but it looks like he at least has a Marantz integrated.Morrow Audio MA1 would be under the budget, as would Audioquest Evergreens. But to reap the benefits... 
Anthem 225 vs Parasound A21 vs Emotiva Xpa 7 Gen 2
I'd have to agree with the crap comment.  I tried an Oppo 95 direct to Halo A21, and it was not good.  You need a pre amp to buffer between the two.  An integrated amp would be a good option here as it would be comparatively cheaper than separates.   
Are future improvements in Amp/PreAmps slowing to a crawl?
I think the idea that advancements have slowed to a crawl is right. One area of improvement is the bringing of better designs to lower price points. To the masses, if you will. And then of course, the "B" and "C" tier can be had for even less thes... 
Tekton Double Impacts
Who is zero fidelity?  Is it just some guy in a base ball hat? 
Morrow SP7 Upgrade.
Look, I don't want to belabour the point, or try to make anyone feel bad, so I'll end my participation with this response.  My point is, many companies just like MS Audio steal the technology from legitimate companies that have spent DECADES resea... 
Morrow SP7 Upgrade.
Well, they might be the real deal, but a buck gets ten that MS Audio didn't come up with the design on their own.  They probably took it from a factory there that makes high end cables for a legit brand.   
Morrow SP7 Upgrade.
Thank you, initforthemusic, perhaps the MS audio stuff is good.  I have a personal preference to stay away from Chinese sourced electronics and accessories when I can because of their manufacturing industry which is allowed to rip off any design t... 
EI Vs Toroidal
Huh, I had always thought that Toroidals made the best transformers.  Then a newer company called Schiit(of which I've become a fan after trying one of their DACs) released a 100 x 2 wpc amp featuring an IE transformer, stating that they prefer th... 
Tekton Double Impact & Comb Filtering
I see that anyone holding a different point of view is still getting mob attacked on this thread.  Nitewulf, whenever you see this kind of fervor for any particular brand, there is usually no point in trying to have a discussion. 
Has any heard the new McIntosh MA8900 integrated?
I was going to suggest brighter sounding rca cables and speaker cables.  Nordost cables are known to be very open sounding I believe.  Does anyone know how long a Mac takes to burn in? 
Morrow SP7 Upgrade.
I checked out MS audio and Sunny Audio on ebay.  It set off some red flags for me.  Their definition of Litz seems off.  MS Audio seems to be a Chinese company and the english in the ads is weak.  I'm not sure what to make of this, but it could be... 
Morrow SP7 Upgrade.
Bondmanp, no problem.  What I think Morrow says is that 500 hrs is the magic number for break in, but a lot of it will be done by the 400 mark.  I  can not guide you as to your bass issue except to suggest that the Morrow cable is more accurate, a... 
Has any heard the new McIntosh MA8900 integrated?
Demoing any of those at home is kind of unrealistic unless you buy from one of those internet direct places.   Buying blind is risky, that's why there are demo rooms in retail establishments.  Perhaps the macintosh will improve once it's broken in.
