Speakers, speaker cables or I’m getting old…
@rolox , +1. It does get old after awhile, doesn't it?  In any event,  @toddcowles , give the new cables a shot and see where it gets you. You'll probably be pleasantly surprised.    
Speakers, speaker cables or I’m getting old…
The audio chain is only as strong as its' weakest link. While I wouldn't say cables are a tone control, they certainly have a bearing on the overall projected sound. If you have nice gear, crappy cables can stand out like a sore thumb.  
Extra sets of Cables to switch up system?
I keep a couple of different sets of cables. I'm happy with what's in there, but every once in a while, or if I get a new piece of gear, I'll swap things around. Usually I end up exactly where I am currently am, but it's nice to hear the differenc...

Stereophile review of the $30,000 tekton speakers
So much Tekton hate on here. It's unfortunate. I own a pair, btw....They're well worth the cost, but in the end, I outgrew them and moved on. I certainly think they're worth their asking price. I just chose to go in a different sonic direction.   
Stereophile review of the $30,000 tekton speakers
Everyone has a certain sound signature that they prefer. If you prefer Tekton's sound, go for it. If you prefer to purchase a speaker based on a Stereophile review, that's your choice as well.  
The Psychology of Constant (Equipment) Change
I've been pretty happy for about a year with my current system. Took a lot of experimentation to get there, though.  
At what point do you...
I buy used/open box/refurbished when it's about 50% or more off retail. Case in point: I bought a Yamaha CDS2100 for $1499 refurbished with a 3 year warranty from a reputable online shop.  
Are there other people like me ? Amazed by their low cost system :)
Dude, you must really think you're important. You're not. STFU already. It's beyond obnoxious.

@classicrockfan , maybe this isn't the forum for you. ASR is always looking for new talent.   
Older Power Cables
You're going to have to try some new cables to find out. I like SR's stuff, but have had good results with the higher-end GR power cables, too. (The GR cable took FOREVER to break in, so bear that in mind...).    
The molecular level explanation of "cable burn-in"
I can't explain it, therefore it cannot exist.   *Yawn*  
Denafrips Terminator 2 bs. ?
  blah blah blah. Buy what you want. Enjoy what you have.    
Do you trust your ears more than measurements?
I use my ears, 100%. Every once in a while, I get the bug to change some settings, adjust some parameters, that sort of thing... Invariably, I tune it back to where it was (or very, very close, anyway). That leads me to believe I’m pretty much ... 
Change Revel BE driver color to black?
@ronboco  No, lol.....and I did find a Be tweeter that is not enclosed in a "cage", so I stand corrected. https://www.madisoundspeakerstore.com/beryllium-dome-tweeters/satori-tw29bnwg-4-beryllium-dome-tweeter-with-waveguide/   That being ...
