Tekton Double Impacts
Thanks Charles,I should have my 300b back the end of next week, hoping you'll have time afterwards to come have a listen. Im interested in whether the synergy between the 300B and matching linestage will outperform the 300B with the MZ2. The MZ2 w...

While I'm only 20 hours in with the SE's they sound incredible. They do everything I like about the DI's......only better. One of the many aspects of the DI's I loved was how they disappeared into a wall of sound. The SE's wall of sound is deeper,...

Thanks lak. I'll do as you and Pete suggest. I'm using CT-1 interconnects so I'm familiar with the time it takes for the magnetic properties to fully work. Im breaking in a new pair of speakers right now, so I'm in no rush.

Thanks Pete. I have an old PS Audio distributor with 6 outlets that I can use for now. It's just outlets, no conditioning or regeneration. I'll plug all four MC-0.5's into that and plug the PS Audio into the wall outlet. Good idea with your rack a...

Thanks Pete, that makes good sense. 21 on one line? I thought it was a typo until seeing further up that you're using 48. Ok.....that's certifiable.....and I love it! :) It sure makes my four seem very reasonable now. I can tell the wife that I on...

Thanks lak. The PowerBroker is just a power distribution center utilizing audiophile grade components in a wood case built by Daedelus speakers. No power conditioning, magnetizing or re-generation of any type. I purchased it initially for my home ...

Question for MC-0.5 users. As I mentioned I have four on order. I'm using a WyWire PowerBroker that my components are plugged into which has two open outlets. I also have an open outlet on the dedicated 20 amp circuit for my audio system. I'm a be...

Thanks for such a complete and well stated review David. I hope you enjoy many, many hours of musical enjoyment from your SE's. While le I have nothing to report on the SE's sonics I can say they are gorgeous speakers. As David stated the fit and ...

I took the plunge and ordered 4 MC-0.5's. While I have two pair of CT-1 interconnects this is my first foray into magnetic AC treatment. What do I have to lose? If I don't like them I can return them. Based on your results here I probably won't ne...

You both went the cryo route! :) Corelli, im hoping for a possible synergy between the pre and amp since they will be built together and from the same components. The MZ2 will be difficult to top though.  
Once you go 300b it’s hard to go back?
I don't see myself straying from my Aric Audio SET 300B. After many years riding on the amp carousel ive found MY amp. I'm using Sophia Royal Princess tubes and am enjoying a beautifully realistic musical sound. I'm not saying SET amps are the bes... 
GutWire Ultimate Grounding Cable
With about 30 hours on the Ultimate Ground it has loss that slight brightness and my system is sounding better than ever. Lower/eliminating noise does wonders by allowing the music to come forth with better tone, more air and allowing the most sub...

Well......my 300B is back with Aric getting a whole new face lift and some other enhancements while he's building a matching Linestage to go along with it. I'll have to heat them with the KT 120 for now 🔥 🔉 
Tekton Double Impacts
My SE's finally arrive tomorrow afternoon. I hope to get them in place and hooked up tomorrow but it will be quite a while before I'll be able to properly evaluate them. Since we are experiencing single digit temperatures here, it may take them a ...

It sure makes things confusing bliptrip. I was all set on buying the Gaia II's when calling Music Direct. From what I gathered talking to the tech rep is that the Gaia II's will work with the DI's.......just not as effectively since they would be ...
