“Invest” in Tekton?
Hope you love them and I am confident you will indeed!  
Duelund cast Pio Hybrid Copper/Silver or Rs series with Silver Bypass PIO
I found the Jupiter copper cap to have better bass impact compared to Duelund cap as an FYI. Again, I found this to be true in high voltage useage, not crossovers. In terms of thinness, both the Jupiter and Duelund CAST have meat on the bones body...

@chumsusi   No reason to replace those wonderful Audyn caps as they are also very, very good!  
Tekton Double Impacts
I did not know xlr was a must. The Belles is rca with xlr only when used as a mono amp. Need to find another matching Belles amp for use in balanced mode. I did see this Pass Labs amp......It is some 12 years old but a great amp and balanced input... 
Tekton Double Impacts
Belles makes great sounding amps and this amp below (link) is a fine deal. I owned it and the more powerful 350 ref. Having owned many nice SS amps from the likes of TRL, Electrocompaniet, Aesthetix, CJ, Blue Circle, Monarchy Audio, Levinson, McIn...

This is the cap Charles and I used and liked. All you would need with no additional bypass cap. Duelund cast PIO CU Copper series  They  are expensive. Go ahead and email them saying you would like to splurge on these but need help and ask if they...

Sslide, thanks for your comments. Most interesting and good for us to hear. Please remember what may sound good to you and Terry may still not be someone else's sonic bliss. We humans hear differently, have sonic flavors we prefer,  and nothing in...

Curious as to why the builder said avoid PIO caps? Yes the Jensen caps are warm and a tad slow, but nice overall. Not all PIO caps sound the same however. If you love speed, resolution and air, then go for CAST hybrid! If that is what you are shoo...

For your use I would stick with the copper CAST. They are wonderful. I am not sure you need to add the bypass silver cap to be honest. Sometimes resolution can be taken too far and long term listenability can suffer. Many recordings are less than ...

+1 also rebbi. I have had the same experiences as you in the past. I have also found what a particular reviewer thinks is great sounding may just be OK with me at best. They have prejudices when it comes to sonic personalities and often have diffe...

Nice system tubular1! Well done.  
Pass 30m or Bob Latino ST 120?
OP needs to give more info. He was asked to and did not. He told the Agon members to go to another site and read more about his needs? Obviously he could not muster up enough energy to post a proper question. Garbage in will always reward with gar...

Great speakers for many years and they don't get enough attention by us Aphiles,  
CD players = dead?
@kalaliGreat question. I find with some older artists like my favorite, Van Morrison, that my ripped collection is deeper than Tidal. This will vary by artist as you know. Right now I spend about 60% of my time listening to Tidal streams vs. my ri...
