Decisive moments your your audio journey
Deja Vu Audio loaning me the stereo EL34 amp I ended up buying and owning for 15 years when I brought an amp I bought on Audiogon in for repair. It was so much better sounding than any amp I'd had before I traded them the amp they repaired plus so... 
my impression with the Auralic Altair G1
Congratulations on your Altair I've run an Aries Mini for years now and love the sound and also their LDS app. Definitely check out the Auralic user forums as well a great group of folks. https://community.auralic.com/  
I treated my room !
Adrian, Posting pics is easy if you have them anywhere else on the net just copy/paste right to this thread. However I meant you should add some pics to your system page, either of both would be great. And heard on that veneer it is a pretty str... 
I treated my room !
Adrian I also just looked your system up it's fantastic and those Altec's look amazing! Is that natural wood veneer or was it treated somehow? And please post some pics of your new room treatments.

Scott glad to hear you got to talk to Vu I find he's typically spot on and can diagnose problems over the phone really well as you learned. You're in good hands for sure I wish I had discovered his shop a lot earlier in my own audio journey. @pes... 
Tannoy Stirlings on the way!
@mulveling Thanks for that but I was more thinking about it in the reverse the Alnico with the tulip waveguide as I've read at least it's superior to the pepperpot. I had a speaker once with an Alnico midrange driver, the Alon Lotus Elite and it s...

I will just say, as I have the same dealer as Larry,  there is absolutely no agenda, Vu just likes what he likes. As far as caps go he's likely to use vintage caps as current AN caps. He's not telling anyone else not to used Mundorf or Duelund the... 
Tannoy Stirlings on the way!
@mulveling Totally fascinating writeup thanks but I have a question, why couldn't they pair an Alnico magnet with the tulip waveguide? Or is it just tradition or users prefer the pepper pot sound?  
Question about Class A
Since you can audition Sugden at the dealer in your area go take a listen and see what you think. Class A does make a difference if done right.
