| Is the PS Audio PerfectWave P10 Power Plant worth it? Wow! if you can swing a P10 then have at it. I went from a PPP to a P5 and can't believe the improvement!

| Good set of speakers for tube amp/preamp If you are looking for new speakers, Vandersteen 1Ci @ $1350/pair. A significant step up would be the Model 2 Signature II (used). I have heard both of these speakers on tubes and it was beautiful! They produce a the musicians are in the room e... | |
| Tekton Electon/DI compares to what? I'm probably as much of a Vandersteen booster as the Tektoners here are of their preferred brand. I for one would love to hear the Tektons to experience what all the allegiance to their sound is about. Anyone in central PA that would be willing ... | |
| Why don't amplifier Companies use high end fuses? @geoffkait A new word, "intrepidation". Congrats! | |
| Tekton Speakers,Who owns them and what did you replace and why. skiroe, The poly drivers you speak of were all the rage for a short period of time. I remember auditioning speakers with such drivers and they seemed to have a "plasticy" sound to them. Paul Mc was making the point that in his experience, regar... | |
| Why don't amplifier Companies use high end fuses? Those measurements clear it up for everyone? I love to listen to measurements. The warmth of some measurements versus the clinical sound of others. Oh the humanity! | |
| Conrad Johnson MF2550, What To Expect? @stereo5 That's awesome! What and how you describe it sounds about right based on my experiences with cj SS amps in the past. They just sound right. Your comment about the lack of upper midrange hardness is THE cj SS amp quality that sets it ... | |

| Thief Alert +1 lpretiring I wish we lived in a world where we didn't have to be so careful. I receive bogus emails pretending to be from very well known reputable merchants that I fear to open lest I infect my computer. Too bad! | |

| How "Tribal" are we? @clearthink I shun labels too. So what? Most labels that are attached to us as individuals are done by tribal groups who DO adopt a tribal identity and find it important to their agenda to wrap themselves around their label and then label those w... | |
| How "Tribal" are we? @ebm Nah...this isn't worthy of a month's sleep, zzzzzzzzzzzz | |
| How "Tribal" are we? @nonoise A great posture to adopt! I'm sure you've noticed that it is hard at times not to let the defense of one's tribe take us down the road of us against them. Like you said that can be the dangerous path toward degenerating into a gang. ... |
