Tekton Electron has been released
Yeah......what Al said! What amazes me about Al's explanations is how he makes it so that I can understand the more technical aspects of audio. I feel that I should be paying tuition. Thanks once again Al for your enlightening contributions.milpai... 
Very Bad purchase from upscale audio Acoustic Zen Adagio
So now Deal is saying he will give a full refund minus shipping or give a $300 credit? And that all the OP had to do was call him in the first place and we would have taken care of him? Then why was his first response at AA was that they were perf... 
Amps Atma-Sphere M-60 Mono blocks OTL design
I think an M-60 to the Linear Tube Audio ZOTL 40 comparison would be very interesting. David Bernings OTL design and Atma-spheres OTL. Two very fine amps with similar design concept.....or maybe not so similar? I know they are both OTL but after t... 
Whats playing on your system today?
A big shout out to all the great suggestions here. I've come across so many artists I hadn't heard before and some from the past that I had forgotten about. Some of my new favs that I'm listening to today:Judith OwenHope WaitsOrchestral Manuevers ... 
Tekton Electron has been released
The custom paint makes a big difference in their looks. It's a much more polished and professional look. My next pair will be BMW Phoenix Green. Eric does an amazing job with veneers, but the wait will be quite long. The 4 ohm impedence does make ... 
Very Bad purchase from upscale audio Acoustic Zen Adagio
Based on Deals response at AA he regrets that the tweeter didnt work and let Acoustic Zen deal with it. He doesn't take any responsibility for the finish. In Deals typical snarky manner he makes a disparaging remark about the buyer and because he ... 
High Fidelity Cables CT-1designed by Rick Schultz
My CT-1 IC update after three days. Thankfully I knew it was going to take some time for these IC's to establish their magnetic effect as they were rather pedestrian the first two days. Not bad, but certainly no better than the Cerious GE IC's the... 
Very Bad purchase from upscale audio Acoustic Zen Adagio
I too found Deal irritating so I took my business elsewhere. Thankfully that led me to Andy Bouman of Vintage Tube Services. Andy is not only extremely knowledgeable about tubes and vintage gear ( anything audio actually) but very helpful and frie... 
Odyssey Stratos vs Parasound A23?
The Odyssey stuff is top notch. I had their Candela preamp and Kismet Monoblocks and they were some of the most musical SS gear I've ever owned.....which included Audio Research and Levinson. I'd still have them if I hadn't been bitten by the tube... 
Tekton Double Impacts
Glad you're enjoying them mofojo. Your impressions are spot on, thanks for sharing. FWIW lowrider, the DI's would sound just fine in your room. My room is only slightly larger at 13x17......but it is heavily treated. Bass traps would probably be n... 
Cerious Technologies NEW Graphene Cables
In my expert opinion you should get the red.......the fact that the master has already suggested the red had nothing to do with my choice 😜 
Cerious Technologies NEW Graphene Cables
Congrats tommylion, the wait will be worth it. The GE speaker cables are simply amazing, as are the IC's. I'm sure the power cords are also but I've yet to experience them......something I shall rectify soon. 
Question about weak link
How long have you had the new gear hooked up? Might just need time for the new components to burn in.  
Tekton Double Impacts
Have you heard the DI's audioman58? I can understand the thinking that by adding more expensive parts will lead to better sound but my experience doesn't bear that out. I can honestly say the DI sounds markedly better than much more expensive spea... 
Synergistic Red Fuse ...
Touché uberwaltz, I've asked that question twice without an answer. It's quite simple......with the fuse being the weakest link in the AC pathway, isn't it possible that improving that weak link could bring about sonic improvement? How could impro...
