Rebbi,In my view and it goes without saying, YMMV, the Tekton M-Lore does match the resolution, delicacy, and coherence of the De Capo. If you aggregate all the reviews for example, all the reviewers say the same thing: neutral, transparent, huge ...

Charles,Yes, have them all on various records or cd. I was listening to LeRoy yesterday with Chet Baker, then later with Ben Webster. I like it that he also did the Doors and Van Morrison on some numbers.

Charles, I see you know Jazz and quality bassists. Did you know many bass players have difficulty with walking bass when they first take up the instrument?

Brownsfan,With respect to your question above regarding the "Walking Bass" in comparing the DeCappo and Tekton M-Lore, here is my view with a little help from Wikipedia to sort out what I am trying to say, with the addition of my own personal take...

Jet, Raylinds, Charles,Your knowledge astounds me; it certainly leaves me in the dust. I suppose I'll learn a lot more as my wife builds the AN-Kit 1. I will be with her step-by-step during the build process. I know I really enjoy Alnico speakers ...

Smctigue1. I forgot to mention that I believe Rebbi will be in audio Heaven when he gets the AN-Kit back. I believe, as I listen, the Ref 3a and AN will perform superbly together, based on what I hear with the 8 watt Dynamo. The Tekton is also a g...

Smctigue1,The bass is good, just not as good as the Tekton. I'm in the middle of comparing the M-Lore against the DeCapo in my room, my ears. Overall the DeCapo is very nice with the Coincident Dynamo 8 watts across the board. I will go into detai...

Rebbi,By-the-way, the Enzo Reviewer (Reichert) favorably compared the Enzo to the DeVore Orangutang O/96. As I've previously mentioned on this thread I am currently comparing my brother's DeCapo Ref 3A against the M-Lore using the Coincident Dynam...

Congrats Rebbi,It won't be long before your home is filled with music. Brian and Pete should be commended for superb support. Best. 
Has anyone tried the Coincident Dynamo 34SE
Smrex13,I gave you a potential answer on your other thread. Good luck. 
Old Audiophile can still be blown away
I've listened to Shuguang 300B in other folks systems. Very good IMHO. I also own their 12ax7s, 12au7s, and 6CA7 (EL34), all very fine tubes. They compare favorably, or better many NOS. 
Elrog 300B vs Takatsuki 300B tubes
The only SS amp I ever really liked was the Forte 4. I haven't owned that many SS amps, always a tube guy. If tubes were no longer available, I too, would likely go a First Watt like Charles, or other Nelson Pass product.

Rebbi,Yes, our family has always had great audiophile stuff. Both brothers currently. Sister no. Father and uncle, many big name pieces in a bygone era, KLH Electrostatic 9s, Marantz 7, 8b, Big MacIntost, Bozaks, Garrard 301, Thorens, JBL, plus ma...

Charles, I really like and enjoy the DeCapo's; but I have only heard them at other folks homes. I have listened to this speaker at my brother's home many times and in shootouts with our mutual friends. The DeCapos are in brother second system. His...
