| Tekton speakers with Ribbon / AMT ?? I’ve used AMTs (Air Motion Transformer), Planars, and Ribbons. They are the fastest, they are the best.. very simple.. I’m more of a planar/ribbon guy because a GOOD AMT can make or break the bank. Either and or. One of my favorite combos is a sof... | |
| No longer need 16' speaker cable pair- options? That is a good idea...Regards | |
| How long is the break-in time for a Sophia Electric Blue 6SN7 tube? Tubes gradually get worse with time. In a well designed valve system, valves work WELL until they don't.Does that make sense? As long as they BIAS out, and have no physical problems. They work well until failure or pulled when they get close in... |
