anyone compare Synergistic Tesla to Indra/Metacarb
Another cable to consider are the Jade Audio hybrid...I also love the stealth and use a full loom of their dream power cords and am also using the MLT speaker cables. I used to have Indra. 
Most resolving, transparent amps.
I have been pretty impressed with the TEAD Linear A amp. You need to respect it's power restrictions with proper speaker matching but within it's cpabilities it is excellent. 
Has anybody had experience with the Orions?
I have heard the speakers in Mr Linkwitz's room and the speakers are excellent. I have owned many speakers in the $10k-$18k range and these (orions) are definately in the top echelon of this group and are priced much less. I believe I would own th...

I heard the prototypes and was very impressed... 
Genelex Gold Lion KT-88 reissued tubes
I just recieved my MFA 200D's back from modification by designer/friend Scott Frankland and after trying all the standards he decided on the reissue Gold Lions...the amps use 6 per side and put out 120 watts in Triode.It is hard for me to just jud... 
After Audio Physic Vigo II's
I went through many speakers after having the virgo's including the avanti III's...I have ended up with the ESP Bodhran SE's and am very happy...they do what the virgo's did but with refinement and enhancement.The suggestions of the Linkwitz oriio... 
Anyone tried the new issue Genalex Gold Lion KT88s
I have heard from a very experienced and reliable source that the sound of the reissues is quite good...now this odes not imply that they are as good or better than the original...not sure this helps just passing it along 
What's better than Oritek X-2
I agree with Tvad that this is a subjective question and system and component dependent...having said that...and I love the X-2's... in my personal systems I have found great happiness with the Jade audio vermeil and gold cables

Wavestream phono
It's one of the very best phono stages I have ever used or heard.I have owned/own ASR basis exclusive, 47 lab, dartzeel.Living near the analog room I have heard many of the finest phono stages availiable.The wavestream is very well built and easy ... 
Anyone upgraded to the new WBT-0110 Nextgen?
I don't have your cables but have upgraded to NextGens on my Nordost cables and it has been a very worthwhile improvementI think there was some reference to the same experience by Roy Gregory, the HiFi+ reviewer, in the latest issue of that mag. 
Nordost vs. Transparent...which is better?
Just to be clear...I don't think Mike said the Nordost is "thin and edgy"...I think he said it can expose these qualities in other system components.I think the Nordost can be excellent in the right application...as can many other cables. 
High End Audio Rack
I would look at the Finite Elemente Pagode Master Reference, Grand Prix Monaco and the Sistrum...among others.The HRS stand is another winner but at many more $$'s 
Hi-Fi in Bay Area?
I second the analog room...about 45 minute drive but worth the trip...they are closed Sunday/Monday. They have Brinkman and a whole bunch of other worthwhile stuff.
