Tekton Double Impacts

AMR CD-77
The CD 77 continues to make music. As it is today is more musicaly satisfying than any othrer player that I have heard or owned. I can only expect that when the burn in is done it will only get to a higher level of performance.

Difference b/t EL34 and 6C33C Amps for Quads
I use to own 988s and I had the opportunity to hook them up to the Tenor amps that I just bought for several days. I had never heard the Quads sing with such dynamics or if possible with more ease and transparency.Had it not been that I could not ... 
The Best kept Secret in Speaker Cables please?
Thank you for your input. I will look into it. 
The Best kept Secret in Speaker Cables please?
I completely agree with your statement. Case in point, my experience with Synergistic Research Designers Reference in my current set up of Kharma 3.2s and Tenor 75Wi.What was a fine cable in my prior system, kills some of the best qualities of my ...
