The Hifi Trajectory Of Class D Amplifiers
Obviously you guys haven't heard the SPEC Real Sound amp. Best, Rob 
Calling all SET fans
Schubert,Why not listen to DeVore 0/96 or 0/93? Maybe Rethm? Coincident Triumpth? Each several times, perhaps six or seven times your budget, but hey, maybe "you can s-t-r-e-t-c-h a bit". Rob

Schubert,I owned the Almarro 205, in fact sold it here on Audiogon. Nice little amp, but watts aside the Coincident blows it out of the water in every meaningful parameter. How come on Audiogon a poster says he/she wants to spend no more than a th... 
Calling all SET fans
Schubert,I listen mostly to Jazz, Classical of any type, Folk, Rock, Pop, hey, I'm a music lover, the Tekton plays them all extremely well. What do you expect to get for $1,000? And how expensive is real bass? The low-E on an electric bass is abou...

Brownsfan, Charles, Schubert,Coincident is coming out soon with the Dynamo Mark II. Larger/better trannies, plus Blume is switching to 5AR4 rectifier...I really don't get some of the comments about Tekton. Every reviewer that has reviewed them giv...

John421,Simple answer is different systems, rooms, ears. They are great in my system, hands down among the best I have ever heard. I do believe they like SET, tubes in general. I cannot praise them enough. In my rigs they replaced extremely expens... 
Silnote or Wireworld XLRs?
The Silnote is great wire. I have interconnect, speaker, and Power cords on my Cary V12 rig. Best, except for my WE16ga talked about in several other threads. I haven't used Wireworld over the last bunch of years, so my view might be a bit out-dat...

Geez Grannyring,Wish I had your skill. Let us know how that project turns out. I finished making the WE10ga power cord; goes from wall to power strip. So far it is sounding very good. Needs more burn in. It is replacing a Silnote pc which is excel...

Grannyring, Jetrexpro, Brownsfan, allI purchased more Western Electric WE10ga, WE14ga, going to build WE10ga power cords first, for wall to power strip using Furutech connection as in Jeff Day Blog. Then, likely WE14ga for transport and DAC. Shoul...

Brownsfan,That is good news. It must be the Oppo is my guess too. In my office system with Sony DVP S9000ES SACD/DVD/ as Transport, Eastern Electric Mini Max DAC the soundstage is extremely 3-D, wide and deep. For example, on Neil Young, Greatest ...

Thanks guys,Your posts are always lluminatining, sheds an interesting light and perspective for sure. I think I'll give the WE10ga some listening time. I have purchased a number of feet of various Gage. Best, Rob 
Looking for really fine cables at really low price
Salectric Terrific report. I'll be staying with the Belden. In my set-up fabulous top to bottom and not soft. I'm going to go ahead and make the WE16ga power cords. I'm going to experiment a little, terminate with Furutech on one pair, Marinco on ...

Thanks Mitch2,I suspected TWL was using WE. Best, Rob 
Looking for really fine cables at really low price
Grannyring, Jetrexpro, allI noticed on the Jeff Day Blog and elsewhere that a bunch of fellas are building Power Cables out of the Western Electric WE16ga. It seems like most are having good success. It appears that Day will be installing the WE16...
