Terpstation,What was the condition of the shipping cartons upon delivery?  LP 
The longest you have owned any gear?
Ahh, this thread is right up my alley!Back in 1990 put together a 2nd system which included a Counterpoint SA-5, BEL 1001, and Spendor SP-1's. Today the Spendors, and the BEL still are in use in my main rig. For full disclosure however, they will ... 
Tekton Electon/DI compares to what?
Soundermn,When I ordered 9 weeks ago, I believe Eric mentioned there was some customer resistance to the 6" drivers. So possibly the marketplace gave momentum to a revision in the Electron? The impression I got was the performance of the 6" was ve... 
Tekton Electon/DI compares to what?
Terpstation might be referring to me. Last week marked 8 weeks since my Electron order was placed.I really don't want them shipped to me until Eric is as comfortable with the finished product as he is with the D.I.'s at this point. Waiting weeks m... 
Tekton Double Impacts
 Cleeds, David_ten,I live in the suburban Chicago area.Oh no, I did not mean that we folk are everywhere. I myself only have one friend who is a believer in what we do. He has a WAF that I wouldn't wish on my worst enemy. But that's a different st...

Sbayne,I agree with you that design breakthroughs can bring gear up to another level, and is the foundation for audio advancement.As we acquire different equipment either purchased or auditioned, it is an evaluation process for each of us to decid...

"(a cool $75,000/pair)"Does not quite seem to fit with the overall theme of dollar/performance value of this thread.   LP 
Tekton Double Impacts
Aniwolfe,I heard similar news late last week that the parts are soon to arrive for my now 8 week old order for Electrons, and will be shipped in approximately 1 more week. However, I did not get the impression that the model is still being tweaked... 
Thief Alert
I strongly agree with Hifiman5.Not every rat gives off an odor.Dweller, I feel you took a bigger risk than if you would have used Paypal. Glad in your case that it worked out well for you.   LP 
Thief Alert
I saw this guys ads for multiple new unopened equipment, which included the Yggy. My instincts were that he was attempting to sell stolen merchandise.He also was on Audio Asylum in case that will be of any benefit.   LP 
Best Bang For The Buck I've Ever Spent
Cbalmeida,There are all kinds of decorative panels available nowadays from many quality companies.Be creative. Where there is a will, there is a way!    LP 
Best Bang For The Buck I've Ever Spent
Eric,You are for sure right that room acoustics are a huge improvement when implemented. But from my experiences to be in the level of large system upgrade, it takes the entire room treated with bass traps, panels, along with ample diffusion.   LP
