Looking for really fine cables at really low price
Grannyring,I also posted about the WE16ga and Belden over on the Rebbi speaker thread that you participate in. Doesn't seem like too many folks over there care to make an inexpensive experiment. As I stated before, I've dumped my expensive speaker... 
Looking for really fine cables at really low price
Grannyring,Buy from seller tajacobs, that is where I and most of the Jeff Day blog respondents bought their WE 16ga; they are authentic. Good luck, Rob

Yes I am familiar with Hi-fi Shark. I'm sure all the regular participants on this thread will also keep an eye out for you with regard to AN-E.

Rebbi,Great info. Being familiar with AN speakers I have a huge soft spot in my heart for them. I did own Snell at one point which is where AN got the design and modified them, but you likely know that. At any rate, let's hope a pair of AN-E 98db ...

Why do people keep recommending speakers for Rebbi outside his purchase margins?

I have 't heard this integrated amp, yet I believe Jeff Day in his review of The SPEC, current in this issue of Positive Feedback, that Mr. Shirokazu Yazaki-san, the designer, a top-notch Japanese 300B builder, modifier, build this amp voiced like...

Jeff Day 6 Moons Review plus good word on the street prompted me to purchase them. Day used them mostly with Omega 3s. Day also had a nice EL84 shootout, you might consider going back and reading his results in 6Moon Archive. Rob

Smctigel,My office is 16x14x9, but rises to a peak of 12 feet for about 4 feet. Not to long ago I owned the Almarro model you use. Nice. It played well in this room with the Tekton M-Lore. I was fortunate to have a number of excellent EL84s, 7189s...

Jet,The AN-e is a great choice, especially the synergy with the Kit. I had family member in past who owned these--just need find used, Rebbi, you should be in Heaven.Jet, beside building the AN Kit-1, my wife and I, with my brother's guidance (DIY...

Rebbi, Couldn't agree more with most your post, as I always state truthfully, YMMV, you do not have to like what I like; but to be completely honest you must also admit that perhaps you rushed, didn't have the time to properly set-up, plus as stat...

I do not own the Lore Reference, but the M-Lore and Lore. In general, my Lores, though different from the brief trial Rebbi had with the Lore Reference, DO NOT sound anything like what he described in my long-term experience with my two Lores. I b...

Atmastphere, I respect you greatly, understand what you are saying, yet I fully agree with Brownsfan, my parameters in my home match his. Yes, at times I might go 95db-100db with one of my Various set-ups, but not normally in my home office system...

Rebbi,I am confused by much of your vacillation and think Brownsfan gave you superb advice; but did you, or did you not, like the sound of the Tekton overall? Do you want a speaker that spotlight in the stage? There are not too many speakers in th...

Pehare,I also loved my RM 10, I was stupid for selling them about 10 years ago, but I love the Coincident Dynamo even more. Like anything audio, careful system synergy, your ears, your room. Best, Rob
