Tekton Double Impacts
@craigl59 - I found the set easily, looks like something to try out.I am approaching the 200 hour mark on the DI's and with some new components in the chain the sound is sooooo good. Listening to Patricia Barber "cafe blue" and am practically havi... 
What's your OTL tube amp experience and suggestion?
@tubegroover - agreed, no more debates needed since it's certainly not a traditional OTL.  I suggest only having a listen. My MZ2-S pre and ZOTL40 combo powering my Janszen electrostats is the finest sound I've experienced.

Look into David Berning's ZOTL designs built by Linear Tube Audio.

@Corelli, I will talk when I can. For now I am sworn to secrecy. I have never met with any Russians.

I did quite a bit of cycling once upon a time. The most insanely dedicated cyclist I've ever met is David Berning (ZOTL designer). 150 miles in a day? No big deal. He once delivered an amp strapped to the back of his bicycle. The man doesn't own a...

@kdude66  - In my dedicated listening room I'm running a MZ2-S and a ZOTL40 with NOS Mullard's powering my Janszen hybrid electrostats. This is providing me with the best sound I've ever heard in my home and amongst the very top contenders I've he...

I'm not a engineer so I can't explain why the ZOTL amps sound so good but theyre different from any other tube design out there. To me the sound is very powerful, dynamic and fast. It has the best qualities of tubes and SS combined.

@porscheracer - but they are the finest 10 watts you've ever heard and are a bargain at 3K. I also agree with @mac48025, the 1 watt does the trick in an unbelievable way. 
Microzotl 2.0 as preamp question
I have a similar setup as Kenny with the DI’s and MZ2. I also suffer from no thump noise. I do have a PS Audio P10 so I can program a delay on some outlets so that everything doesn’t turn on at the same time. I believe Music Direct has P3’s on sal... 
Oppo UDP - 205
My Modwright Oppo 205 is well broken in now and I am very impressed. I feel that Modwright has taken advantage of an excellent ESS 9038 DAC chip with an excellent transformer coupled tube stage and the results are outstanding. Fine micro details a... 
VPI is bringing back the Magic Brick!
I wonder if brass shavings would work instead of iron? I have buckets of it laying around. 
NEW DAC PS Audio Direct Stream DAC or Keep What I Have
dylanfan,  I agree with Ozzy, The firmware in the DS is the best I've heard so far. I also am enjoying the new DAC in my new Oppo with Modwright mods.

My DI's are sounding better everyday with about 150 hours on them. I find these speakers to display some of the finest sound reproduction I have ever heard and most definitely nothing touches them at this price point. I have some nice maple speake... 
Generator Power Supply--Audio Epiphany
My old 10k watt generator would definitely fluxuate and I could see the lights flicker constantly. My new 20K generator installed a year ago because we have a lot of power outages around here has yet to turn on. We don't seem have power outages an...
