Tekton Double Impacts
I settled on NOS Tungsol round plate 12SN7's with Sylvania Gold Brand 12AT7's and really like that combo in the MZ2.

NEW Cerious Technologies Upgrade - Graphene Matrix Cables
Ozzy,would you happen to know how the Matrix IC's compare to the HF CT-1? I'm currently using the CT-1 interconnects and GE speaker cables. I'm very happy with the sound.........but always looking for ways to improve the sound. These new Matrix ca...

I'm hoping they ship this week, Lance. What color did you choose? I was going to get a screaming metallic yellow but opted for the BMW metallic mineral gray. Much more conservative than the BMW Phoenix Yellow but still sweet.

Sbayne and Charles,Yes, Eric is a class act and I never had any reservations in having me build this amp or whether he would totally stand behind his work. As you can tell from his posts he is totally competent and knowledgeable but more important...

Thanks Aric, I appreciate your generous offer and shall take you up on it. Your amp will be sonic perfection with a dead silent background. I'll give you a shout to set it up. Can't wait to have you over again to hear the amp Charles. Once I get i...

Corelli,The 300B from Aric sounds great. I had to work through some strange noise issues which turned out to be from my Vinnie Rossi power supply being too close to the amp. Now that I moved the power supply I'm enjoying music again! I still have ...

Congrats treebeard, I think you'll be VERY happy with the mz2. It's a remarkable product. I would definately suggest that you try some NOS tubes as the MZ will reflect the character of the tubes used. My fav combo is Tungsol round plate 12sn7's wi...

The MZ and VR power supply were about 18" from the amp so that might have been the noise issue with the upgraded LTA power supply. Al mentioned earlier that could be the case. I'll have to get some longer interconnects to see if placing the amp fu...

I've used the upgraded LTA power supply and the Vinnie Rossi mini pure DC-4EVR power supply with the MZ2. When using the MZ as a pre amp and the LTA power supply I experienced some noise but it was dead silent with VR power supply. Thanks to Mike ...

Did you get the Shelby GT paint job for your Ulfbehrts, bullitt? That would actually look sweet. Wasn't the Bullitt car white with blue racing stripes? I need to watch that movie again, it's been forever since I last saw it. Bet you never thought ...

Congrats on your DI purchase cliff, you're in for some fun. I would recommend trying out all of your electronics with the DI's to see which you like best. While I prefer small SET tube amps with mine others prefer large SS amps with them. The DI's... 
Tekton DIs or Legacy Focus SEs?
The DI's have been out a little over a year Grannyring. I recieved the first pair October 2016.......so I have the least updated pair :)  
Aric Audio Systems Unlimited Preamp
Thought I'd contribute my experiences with Aric Audio.I had Aric build me his Transcend KT 120 amp with Pure Copper caps and it was fantastic sounding. What an amazing value at only $2600 as it sounded better in my system than amps costing twice a...
