@sqitis I think you will find what you are looking for with the BHK.I would love to hear your impression after installing it in your system.   
Traded Off my SLP-05
@jaybe The Cary is very good. I had the ultimate upgrade done and had them upgrade it further to  accommodate so vey rare tubes I wanted to use. The tubes were BL 63 which were used by the Royal Air Force between 1938 to 1941 in their Lancaster Bo...

Traded Off my SLP-05
I sold my Cary SLP-05 after I borrowed a used BHK Signature Pre from a dealer. To me it sounded better stock than the modified Cary pre which was feeding a pair of Cary Founders edition amps. After a few weeks to get the sound imprinted in my mind...

@jaybe I would love to hear what your impressions are so please post them if you get a chance.   
I'm curious. What is your "normal" listening volume?
I try to keep it between 85dba and 90dba when I am doing an extended listening session. As a prior poster mentioned every recording has an ideal playback level but even if it is above 90 I usually will lower the volume so I don’t damage my hearing...

question for SLP05 owners:
They were made to be stacked . I recently sold mine to a buddy who has them stacked just like I did for years.  
Tekton speaker comparison thread
I sent a message to jrusso 121 inviting him up but I should have posted this for everyone. I don’t know if Tekton Design participates in audio shows and since they don’t have a dealer network the only way to hear them as far as I know is at someon... 
Is anyone here still into live concerts these days?
Last year for the first time in years my wife and I went to see Styx and Foreigner at the Bangor Maine Amphitheater. I was actually surprised how good the sound quality was compared to many of the arena style shows we attended in the past. The neg...
