| Quality issues with Tekton speakers.... Thanks for the pics. I'm not sure if it would bother me, but I can understand it being a problem for others. I guess you could ask to exchange of drivers. | |
| Quality issues with Tekton speakers.... Could you provide pictures of the loudspeaker drivers showing the different hues? And to clarify, there are no issues about the drivers sounding different? | |

| Has Anyone Found Shunyata Cables Sounding Thin? Sabai, thank you for giving some info about your audio equipment. I find it interesting that you use an Atma-sphere amp in that its designer has frequently stated that properly designed balanced I/O should eliminate the differences in how cables s... | |

| HH Scott 350 fm tuner The narrow spacing of input/output connectors on vintage equipment is a problem for the modern audiophiles. If you replace the connectors you lower the resale value since most collectors value original condition items. I have a Fisher 400 and I en... | |
| Why blind listening tests are flawed From your description it appears that you are listening to your equipment as opposed to listening to music via your equipment. Since no equipment is completely transparent and without fault, if you actively search out the shortcomings, you will he... | |
| Law of Accelerating Returns Zd542, go listen to the lineup and then look at their pricelist. To me it's obvious, but as I said earlier, I could be wrong. | |
| Distortion with ARC Ref 150 and Maggie 3.7 Almarg, we will have to disagree about how appropriate, or more importantly, how helpful someone's recent comments on this thread have been. So many people have offered advice and guidance trying to solve the OP's situation. I didn't see the point... | |
| VAC amps and Focal Grand Utopias at $195k a pair Didn't Focal buy Naim? | |
| Law of Accelerating Returns A "bargain" is more of an absolute description of worth as opposed to the relative term "a good value". A bargain also has a much wider time window than a good value. I agree the the Vandersteen 5a is a good value, but it is not as good a value as... |
