Opinions about high fidelity reveal?
My opinion is search reviews of cables, find the ones you like the comments of best, and then try that. If it happens to be fidelity reveal, so be it. Never, ever decide on a brand and then try and find out what it sounds like. Might as well throw... 
Seeking recommendations about material, design, makers of low-lying rack for gear
I was thinking something like first off you could put the amps directly on Pods without even a short rack. But depending on what your standard is for looks you could spend a lot and have something that looks good but not be anywhere near the sound...

Don't immanentize the eschaton. 
$2000 Tektons, which one for my use?
I own Moabs, have heard Pendragon XL, and active in the FB Tekton Owner's Group. I would say first of all no worries about the sound, that is a given. The best indicator is they sell a ton but yet hardly any ever come up used. Instead focus on wha...

Stage Three: Margaritaville!    (Also see: Stage 420). 
Synergistic FEQ X4 Impact On Other Digital Systems
Best guess this is a souped up and highly tuned Schumann generator. Would love to compare one to my SG. They do work, and the effects do seem to be very similar. The SG do this with a cheesy cheap little antenna trace on a circuit board and tuned ... 
Tube Match question for Tekton Speaker & Dennis Had Inspire Firebottle
I would think it would be similar to the situation with 4 and 8 ohm taps where one sounds slightly better than the other but other than that it doesn't really make any difference. Speaker impedance is as I'm sure you know nominal. Not fixed, it va... 
Why so many tubes?
There's a 50cc class of racing motorbikes. Back in the 50s and 60s it became all about how many cylinders you could get to displace only 50cc. Things got real small and because things really didn't weigh all that much revs were over 20,000! So... 
How long do good speakers last?
Good speakers last until they're not good any more.  
What is wrong with my system?
No nothing is fighting each other. Unproductive way of viewing it. I cannot recommend what you are doing. Others I am sure can. Not me. Not at all.    Listen- every single one of your components is responsible for and contributing to the sound you... 
Biggest "bang for the buck" audio gear you have owned(in your history)?
For many years- decades- the biggest bang for the buck was Black Diamond Racing Cones. Now it would be Nobsound springs.   Only other thing that can touch those was Krissy's Total Contact. 
Step by Step How to Use a Digital Multimeter / Oscilloscope for Azimuth Adjustments
My my my, every single one including Peter Ledermann agrees with me on this one. Be still my beating heart. 
Recommendations for cables based on components
Any recommendations out there for upgrading these cables keeping costs in line with current equipment? I really am at a loss on budgeting for these and am thinking < $500. Would cables costing $300-500 for example have any improvement over my $... 
The Most Philosophical Song You Ever Heard
Imagine is commie pabulum, insipid nihilism, made all the more slimy for its silky delivery. A worse song it is hard to imagine. Okay, We Are The World. But that’s about it. Kharma Chameleon is more intellectually and philosophically grounded.  
My Experience With Tekton
holmz- Let’s bring this back to reality a bit…What is the purpose of all the tweeters/drivers running in unison?Is it to reduce the excursion as a way to lower non-linear distortion?Or is it to make the driver appear to be coming from a point furt...
