| Stereophile review of the $30,000 tekton speakers There are alot of wonderful speakers out there at $30k..at this price point it comes down to personal preference, system matching and and more than a few positive demonstrations.

| Pre-amps for Leben CS-600x @markimiller Depending on your speakers, the cv391 is stunning. The STC cv391 is an amazing tube for an amplifier for tone and texture, even SET like at times. STC was the British spinoff of Western Electric so the tube has some of that dna. Congr... | |

| Leben CS300XS Tube Rolling @oceanandmountains first of all, friends dont let friends buy tubes on Amazon. The good news is you can probably return them. Can you hear hiss through the headphone section? If not, then perhaps try some low noise matched 5751’s from Brent Jesse... | |
| Leben CS300XS Tube Rolling @oceanandmountains it could be one of several things: 1) the new production tubes, from whom did you buy them and were they the highest grade, lowest noise offered by the seller?, 2) NOS tubes require the same attention to detail prior to purchas... | |
| Leben CS300XS Tube Rolling @jond The cs300xs utilizes el84’s rather than el34’s, perhaps you are referring to the cs600x. @oceanandmountains The graininess to which you refer is addressed at the 12ax7 position. it also depends if you like the tonal/texture but the u... | |
| Borresen and Von Schweikert I dont know nyaudio, he just pointed out the fact that Borresen doesnt have many dealers. Why call him an idiot for posting an accurate observation? Best wishes | |
| Borresen and Von Schweikert @tshark so, for your 9th post in four years you decide to come fighting. Whats up? | |
