Zu vs. Tekton? -- your comparisons on price, build, sound
OP, here. I took @grislybutter to be intending a claim that was missing two words.  Here's the claim as I think it was intended:  "20 dollars cables vs 2000 dollar cables *can sometimes* make the littlest difference" This seems indisputable. @... 
The Decware Pill - Any Experiences?
I'm curious, though I find my modded Orchid really makes things sound lovely. Still, 30 day trial...

@ted_denney  Not consecutive, but a great tradition, all the same.

Salk owners -- any interest in a more sensitive Salk model?

New listening room question
@scowler1 I forced an education on myself in the past year or so and have learned a lot. Happy to chat with you if you like. I'm not an expert and won't go beyond my experience. Message me if you want to talk.   
Zu vs. Tekton? -- your comparisons on price, build, sound
@riley804 I'm really not about to change speakers. I did write to Jim Salk about considering making a more sensitive speaker. The problem he cites is accuracy. But he's thinking about it. What I'm interested in is -- if you will -- the "tier belo... 
Zu vs. Tekton? -- your comparisons on price, build, sound
@riley804 Good one --hoisted on my own petard -- and I deserve it! Still, to defend myself, if you look at those results, there are not many thread starters with this comparison. So.... More, the reason I’m not just searching the forum is that ...
