2017 Honest Cabling that doesn’t promote bankruptcy
+1 @hifiman5 on the Clear Day cables. All my ICs and my loudspeaker cables are Clear Day. They are real "ear openers". 
Tekton Double Impacts
We were able to identify the makes of the pianos being used just by their tone on the Ulf's. @333jeffery,Seriously? A bit too much for any loudspeaker to reveal, unless you already know which one was used in that recording. Are you saying that j... 
$10k DAC in a 3k system?
@paul79 ,We have no idea what your system consists of. Would you mind sharing? 
Golden ear triton 1 vs tekton double impact speakers
@gdhal/@stereo5 ,Your experiences are your own and hence I respect that. But I am looking at the Tekton Double Impact thread that is growing and also read the professional review @Hometheaterreview.com. Looks like the DIs replaced some $20k loudsp... 
$10k DAC in a 3k system?
@dla123,Read almarg's post very carefully and try to make sense of it. Will probably save you tons of money on a nice upgrade DAC and you might be able to purchase a $5-$7k loudspeaker. Good luck! 
Speaker cable recommendations with Magnepan .7s
+1 bdp24 for the Clear Day Double Shotguns. These are meant for low sensitive loudspeakers. Try to find a used pair. 
Tekton Double Impacts
@kdude66, @david_ten,Thanks for your opinions and suggestions. Do you guys know of anyone driving Tektons with Parasound A21? I am pretty happy with the Parasound and have no intentions to change anything in the system except the loudspeaker.@alma... 
Tekton Double Impacts
Folks who already own DIs, did you go with the 4-ohm version or the 8-ohm version. Good to know that these compete with $12K loudspeakers. But still cannot get over the looks of these loudspeakers. Anyone with Parasound amps driving the DIs?

You are welcome, fellow Clevelander :-) 
Tekton room at the Los Angles Audio Show.
Next door was TAD. They had a brand new production model of a monitor for $12.5K. It’s not even listed on their website. Absolutely, stunning! Those little speakers put out a very big, lusciously detailed sound. I didn’t know that a small cabi... 
Who listens primarily to Redbook CD?
I primarily listen to CD and SACDs only. Bluetooth is a distant second at 10% of the time. Pretty happy with the setup, but need to upgrade the CDP soon. 
Tekton room at the Los Angles Audio Show.
@cmach,Yes very strange. I was thinking people will be all over the forums discussing how great the Tekton DIs would be at the Los Angeles show - after I read the professional review and the user discussions. But strange that not a single person h... 
Speaker Cable Suggestions
@csmgolf ,I think you should ignore what dynaquest4 posts. No point taking it further. His system is the best and he "knows" that there cannot be anything better. How does he know that, you say? Well he knows it all, don't argue. We all are biased... 
Tekton room at the Los Angles Audio Show.
Man, I hoped tons of people would be chiming in their experiences from the LA show, since Tekton already had indicated days in advance that they would be there. Surprised that even existing owners missed the Tekton room. 
Speaker Cable Suggestions
dynaquest4,Clearly we have different opinions. So no point going forward with that discussion. You think cables should not make a difference (more nonsense) and I think cables do make a difference. I can say the same about your opinion, being bias...
