Tekton Design's new THE PERFECT SET equals "goosebumps time"
@teajay, so how does Zu compare to the Tekton ? Also how different will my 12wpc SEP sound Vs a true SET ? This is pretty vague question , but I’m asking with sincerity , Mike B.  
Hey RICH Audiophiles
   Never saw a single Porsche I didn’t admire . Especially the 917-30 with Mark Donahue driving . I savor the picture of myself  helping the late Al Holbert push the Lowenbrau 962 into the garage at Riverside . As a teen , I rode in the now famous... 
Buy 12ax7 tube
+1 to Loweider57, he is spot on with all advise . At your price point Tungsram and EI are your best bet . Telefunken is the best overall . Once you go Telefunken, you’ll never go back . I have a pre that takes 2 12AU7’s . I have about $ 2500. inve... 
Looking for thoughts/opinions on tube seller's response to my question...
Are these the same Tung Sols that Schiit sells for $100 ? Have you asked them about noise ? Did you remove and reinstall the tubes in different sockets ? I run high efficiency speakers and my system is susceptible to pre amp tube noise , especiall... 
Power conditioner and high end power cord
  So here’s my experience. I’m a Mid Fi guy and budget driven.               1 ). I installed Hubbell outlets . Easy and inexpensive. No SQ improvement noted . But my old outlets used a  push spring to attach the Romex . The Hubble’s have beefy sc... 
Simple and Effective Upgrade for Wall Wart Power Supplies
FWIW change the outlet to a medical grade . You can find decent ones in the $40 range . I have Hubbell’s and they put a death grip on my power cords .  
I saw an ad for Morrow Audio cables
   I’ve been running Morrow cables for almost 2 years . I recently added 2 MPA4 power cords . I replaced Silnote and Anti-Cables with Morrow products . I’ve purchased my Cables new on the 50% off sales , which makes them competitively priced . I r... 
beginner seperate system
Sorry you asked about separates . I own a Schiit Yiggy, Bifrost and Loki . I’m currently considering a Freya to use instead of my Rogue Pre. I am extremely pleased with their products as they offer great value . I’ve updated my Rogue with NOS Tele... 
beginner seperate system
May I suggest considering the Rogue Sphinx or Pharaoh. Both integrated with tube pre , phono stage , headphone jack and remote control . Needs 1 quality power cord and some Telefunkens to replace the stock tubes . Plenty of quiet , clean solid sta... 
Have you had enough of Classic Rock?
“ Do you feel like I do “? Isn’t that a Frampton song ? If you listen to all the black musicians from the 30’s to 50’s , you can discover the Real Rock Music ! Happy Listening , Mike.  
Recommendation for DAC needed.
    Hi Richard, always enjoyable to read the discussions you start . Having gone from a Schiit Bifrost Uber Analog ( non multibit ) to the Schiit Yiggy, gave me an improvement, but along the same type sound signature . But my random thoughts are t... 
Suggestion for best stereo amp ?
@ mzkmxcv, this is the second thread I’ve read where you were directly asked if you listened to items compared . Again you skirted a Yes or No answer by quoting reviews and tests . Why don’t you post on what you have listened to , we can all read ... 
Where to put my new power cable?
I currently run Silnote power cords . I just replaced the 20 amp cord on my Power unit with a Syunyata Venom HC , I could immediately tell a difference . So I purchased 2 new cords from Mike Morrow . They are better than my Silnotes . But I needed... 
Why does my DAC sound so much better after upgrading digital SPDIF cable?
I love threads like this . People telling you what you can and can not hear. Even though they have never  listened to your system . And then they quote a test that they didn’t hear either . That is followed by the phrase “ Placebo Effect “. So whe... 
What is the most dramatic way of increasing a speaker's Bass and Low mid?
Hi , I’ve had similar issues, but with a different type speaker . I am not able to buy a $4k item for tone , since I currently exist in a Mid-Fi price point . 3 kids with cars and college just ended , so maybe soon . So I purchased the Schiit Loki...
