| The survival of the fittest. I stand corrected on the advertising. I don't read Stereophile or TAS, unless it happens they have something I'm interested in. Hardly ever happens. One of my first shocking experiences when shopping for good stereo back in 1990 was the number of... | |
| Projector Power Cords there is no way a power cord that is connecting hundreds of feet of regular blah blah yada yadaThe last 3-6 feet of conductors in the power line are the most important. I've also seen blah blah blah yada yadaThese two quotes are two sides of the ... | |
| Integrated amp comparison/recommendation Oh man, drive on over and listen! Really keen to know how they sound. All the comments are extremely positive, just lacking in details. But glowing. Same for Raven. One guy here, willgolf, seems he can afford anything and has been all over the wor... | |
| Tekton vs. Salk Sound? You don't need to spend $10-15k to get a $10-15k speaker. All you need is Tekton Moabs. Of course, if it really is important to spend all that money there is always the Ulfberht. However, just so you know, when I was all set to buy Ulfs the one gu... | |
| The survival of the fittest. Well let’s see the best one I know right now is Tekton, all made by Eric Alexander. To judge by sound they are the one thing you didn’t mention: value. The are an incredible bargain.Marketing- no discernable marketing. Unless you count word of mou... | |
| Integrated amp comparison/recommendation I've had my eye on a Raven for a while now. All indications are superb. Decware however is right up there, although you may not like the wait time. I heard it is 5 or 6 months? | |
| Does Power Cord Require Burn-In To Sound Good? Hate to tell you, if it doesn't sound good right out of the box send it back. Yes burn-in is real. But it won't turn a sow's ear into a silk purse. What it will do, if the cable is any good then it will sound terrific right out of the box, and the... | |
| 20’ TT cabling If he even has a phono stage....? | |
| Velcro as Acoustic Isolation? Nope. Not even. What you want are springs. The easiest solution is Nobsound springs from Amazon, only about $30 for a set of 4. The way these work you remove springs based on component weight. If your speakers weigh less than about 75lbs each then... | |
| REVEL performa3 f208 or TEKTON Moab Reading through the comments its clear you either don't know anything about Tekton Moabs or worse have been misled into believing a lot of the blather which in turn comes from people who don't know anything about Tekton Moabs. The sensitivity thi... | |
| My journey to improved vinyl performance-a new cleaning protocol That's what I noticed going to Walker Enzyme. The improvement in detail and clarity was far greater than the improvement in surface noise. Walker Enzyme was recommended to me by Tom Port of Better-Records.com as the very best, and I can't argue. 3... | |
| Why is there no love for Prima Luna? Pretty sure MC started this, bringing everything down a notch by linking “stop the steal” and freedom of expression.Pretty sure your reading comprehension* is off the charts- the bottom not the top. For the record, here’s the very first post.Hones... | |
| Women who enjoy quality speakers Congratulations, you are one of a kind. The few women I have seen are good listeners but only one who was really into the seeking out auditioning evaluating part of it. She bought Tekton Moabs after hearing mine. (Her husband came but she did the ... | |
| REVEL performa3 f208 or TEKTON Moab I wouldn’t touch the Revel with a ten foot pole, if for no other reason than at only 88dB sensitivity you’ll never find an amp to drive them. A choice made even more tragic when the alternative Tekton Moab is such a superb speaker, a good 10dB mor... | |
| Speaker Cables and Connectors My recommendation is to forget everything irrelevant like your other components and focus on the one thing that matters, how they sound. Really. I cannot think of anything less relevant than... all the other stuff people will mention. Anything oth... |
