Speakers to audition at AXPONA 2015
Roscoe,I will look out for you.Rhljazz,I am also going to check Marantz room for new players. I want to get the Oppo and a nice DAC in future. One great learning from the new room setup is, never judge the speakers without proper placement. I expe...

Maybe we all should write out "monikers" on a small label and stick it on our shirts. We interact with a lot of folks on these forums and would like to meet up with some, so that we can put a face to the moniker :-)

Rleff,Thank You for the recommendation. But they are out of my price range.

Absolutely Ebm.That was my actual plan. I wanted to surprise folks here. Get that speaker and a flea powered (less than 3 watts) tube amp that runs on battery, and get totally off the grid. But dang, you had to mention it :-)

Rich3549/Meadowman,The Ryan looks like normal sensitivity speakers. My current speakers are 88db at 6 ohms. The Ryans are 88 at 4 ohms. So might not suite in my system. Nevertheless, will try to audition them.

Xti16,That speaker looks interesting from the point that the designer is ex-Raidho. Will visit that room as well. But a bit worried that it might sound too sterile. Lets see.

Thanks for the response folks.I will try to audition the speakers that folks have recommended. Honestly, I was not impressed by the Tritons, when I herd them before. But I guess it might have been the setup. Also the dealer had just demoed me a $1... 
Exogal Comet DAC
Essentialaudio,Your rooms were already on my "to visit" list because of Audiokinesis and Teo (for preamp and not the cables). Will look forward for demo of the Exogal as well.Have not gone to a show in a decade. Do exhibitors encourage visitors ge... 
Lightspeed Attenuator - Best Preamp Ever?
George,Try as I might, but I could not find any ringing in my TVC, for the past so many days.One thing I really hoped that Nicholas Chua did better - customer service and response. His TVCs (at least the dual box) are pretty awesome. But I hesitat... 
ATC scm40 or Spendor A9
What about D7 Vs SP series? What are your thoughts on these? 
Exogal Comet DAC
The Exogal seemed very interesting since it uses FPGAs. But converting DSD to PCM is a slight let down - at least on paper. Nevertheless it has received nice reviews. 
Quad 12L Classic
Make sure that the cables from amp go into the Low Frequency terminals. Then the jumpers from Low Frequency terminals into the High Frequency terminals. Let us know how it goes. 
Input sensitivity, Gain and Preamp matching
Pani,My experience is based ONLY on TVC and not other types of passives. But nevertheless, I would like to share.Your amp's sensitivity is actually very low. The way people would look at the sensitivity would be - if it requires less volts for ful...
