| What is it that you don't like about your speakers ? @twoleftears How can you be 100% sure it's really the speakers producing the sound/effect that you don't like so much? +1 The system needs to be considered as a whole (an organism if you will). We are (understandable and easier to do so) quick... | |
| Amps or Speakers which one to upgrade next Neither. Put all of it into power and power cables, as a first step. It will transform your system, and once you make the investment, it is there for any component changes in the future.Your room looks like it's multi-use...and since it is a parti... | |
| Anyone familiar with Tekton Design Electrons and Polk RTA 15TL? I suggest you repost and focus the gist of your question much more broadly, i.e. so you can get feedback from those that have experience with Tekton Design.

The Denafrips Terminator is broken in and is performing very well.I’ve been waiting for a speaker delivery, which was planned and scheduled for before the Denafrips DAC was delivered.

| Best Footers for DAC? @stuartk I posted a similar question. Here is the thread with a number of good responses and suggestions....https://forum.audiogon.com/discussions/what-has-worked-for-you-isolation-platforms-footers-etc-for-a... | |
| For tube sound, which is more important: preamp or power amp? @danoroo A word of caution. You are trying to do two things at the same time. If this was just about your optimizing the performance of the Enzos, via a tubed amp, it would be one thing. Adding sub control via the preamp may lead to coherence and... | |
