Thoughts on moving from a 1200G to Sota Saphire or above
For years I contemplated upgrading from my Gyrodec. I really like it’s airy lively sound. Last year my local dealer had one available SL-1210GAE so I bought it. The first cartridge I used was an Ortofon Cadenza bronze. Now I’m using a Kiseki purpl... 
Tang Band 2145 in action
I’m one of Greg’s customers. My Bache Audio Tribeca’s replaced a PK rebuilt pair of Quad 57’s. The Tang Band drivers in my speakers are modified by Greg and augmented by 2 woofers and a super tweeter. I can testify that the midrange in my speakers... 
USPS records delivery delays
3 months ago an LP I ordered was damaged in transit and sent back to the seller and another LP never showed up. 6 weeks ago I ordered a CD from a seller 20 miles away and tracking says it will be delivered later then expected.  
Anyone drive Verity Audio Parsifal Encores with tubes?
Years ago I drove the Parsifal Encore monitors with Atma-Sphere M60 MKII monoblocks and it was a wonderful combination.  
VTL 300 Deluxe monoblocks
I would contact Ben Jacoby in Brooklyn NY. (718) 377- 8010. He specializes in tube amp repairs and I believe he's the authorized repair person for Audio Note tube gear. It's a bit of a hike from Philly but maybe you can ship to him. 
Your favorite KT 150 based amplifier?
I would like to demo Alexus Audio’s 150 mono blocks.  
CD Player Recommendations…
I just ordered a Bryston BCD-3. In your price range I would look at the  Rega Apollo. 
Bache Audio Metro 001 Upgrade
When Greg replaced the stock woofers in my Tribeca’s with the Eton drivers the bass improved dramatically. He also did a simple tweak to the crossover that improved on the midrange. This change was subtle compared to the woofers. A few weeks ago G... 
CDP or DAC?
I just ordered the Bryston BCD-3 CD Player a few days ago. The majority of my listening has been listening to  LPs. I like swapping cartridges (Lrya, Ortofon and Kiseki). I do have over 2000 CDs, and the many of the classical CDs are not available... 
Three cheers for Keith Herron
When I ordered my VTPH2A back in January, Keith told me he had enough parts to build 14 more and that was it.

Ok Ryan did contact me today. He seems like a stand-up guy.Thanks for the responses 
Free in-home testing?
If you are near Long Island you can come by me if you want to take a listen to my Bache Audio Tribeca speakers. Shoot me a PM if you're interested.  
Intimate, warm and holographic alternative
Check out Bache Audio. I replaced my PK rebuilt Quad 57s with a pair of the Tribeca's. The 8 inch modified wide band driver that's used as a midrange produces an engaging holographic sound with a huge soundstage. The crossover is a simple cap on t... 
Your advice needed, speakers to buy $8K to $13K
Bache Audio. I've been living with the Tribeca's now for just over a year and couldn't be happier. 90db, and that modified 8" wide band driver produces a beautiful sounding midrange. Very open and holographic.  I had Quad 57s and sold them because... 
Looking for my Final Pair!!
Bache Audio Tribeca's. I love how my jazz LPs come alive through these speakers. They have a full bodied sound that's coherent and natural. Maybe the best piano I have ever heard, including Wilsons. With my all tube system and the lights dim I swe...
