Running DCS Vivladi DIRECT?
@folkfreak Thank you so much for such a well written and understandable post on your listening experience. The Ref40 is one heck of a preamp for sure. My past experience with this sort of comparison yielded the exact same results although I never ... 
Tekton Double Impacts
Very happy for you @grey9hound I can tell by your excitement and manner that your system sounds very special and now at the point where it is fine tuned and well paired.  It does take effort and time.  Nice!  
Former Tekton owners: What have you moved on to?
Great speakers indeed! Enjoy.... 
Has anyone tried these stunning new CPT power cord?
@lak Love your attitude.  I trust all will be make whole in time.  
ROON - EQ any good?
I use Roon and the EQ option in its DSP. Roon sounds terrific with Tidal and is an absolute joy to use. The EQ works great with no real ill effects as long as you are not heavy handed with its use.  I have used it tame  2-4K just slightly on one s... 
Who has Luv for the Lyngdorf 2170 and is thinking about the 3400.
I did in a room 34x22 with 10 foot ceilings. Far more power than needed really. Ran them with absolute ease. Several others here will also chime in as they have the same combo. They are a wonderful team together.  
Does anyone leave their amp and preamp on all the time?
It would figure strongly! My TRL preamp did not have this feature and the on/off cycling was indeed robbing the tube of more life than just leaving it on. Like all things audio....it always depends and few things are just black and white.

Tube Research Labs builder and founder also told me it was easier on the tubes to stay on.  The way he used the 6sn7 tube in the preamp sure gave it long life and I did leave it on.

Great to hear Bob! Yes you should be hearing a more relaxed natural tone.   Happy for you and thanks.

I installed the new display board that Lyngdorf sent me. It was pretty simple and I just had to figure out how to remove the front face plate so I could get at the board to remove and install the new one. So,  so much better now with the display c... 
Talk but not walk?
@geoffkait Nice summary.  
Extremely hyped omni directionals introduced Munich 2018
Love the innovation and new thinking. Does anyone know the price? LOL to the comment “glamorized sewage pipe”.   
RIP Dave Wilson
Indeed a sad day.  Prayers go out to his family and friends.  
Talk but not walk?
I just read these posts and my system still sounds the same? Learned nothing. Perhaps my system sounds worse as my emotional state is not at peace. I guess I’m also out of this thread and one of the weaklings who can’t take the heat. I leave point... 
Talk but not walk?
MG is indeed a breath of fresh air and is onto something we could all learn from. The confrontational posts continue to derail any hopes of this and others threads ever amounting to anything of real value. Not every subject matter and thread is ab...
