Your last concert was to see who and when?
roberjerman,You need to get out more! 
Unfiltered NOS DACs sound
suix6,Completely agree with you. I think those who haven't tried R2R DACs are really missing out on more natural sound. I would never go back. 
Tongan Labs F6 vs Zu Audio Omen Dirty Weekend Mk.II
Geez...the youtube video is only a few seconds long! 
Spectral amp/preamp
And my point is that it's all different flavors of ice cream. Whether it's McIntosh, which I admittedly own, or any other brand, I lose patience with people commenting that this or that perfectly good brand is "not in the same league" as another b... 
Buy a pair of ten year old $40,000 speakers for $4,000 or new ones at that price point?
And he asked the same question twice in one day. Annoying. 
Spectral amp/preamp
mdp632,If Spectral is that good, why hasn't the company grown very much? They have certainly ben around long enough. I think that you may be one of those who make judgements by perceived "sophistication", but it all comes down to what it sounds like. 
Tekton or Klipsch
I'm sure that you could possibly be happy with either, but they will be different, so you need to at least hear an example of each if not the exact model to see what tickles you. 
Dumped the rack
I have heard for years that a rack between speakers destroys imaging, but it hasn't for me. I used to have small monitors on either side of a sofa, and the imaging was great. Now I have a large 4 shelf Adona rack between my speakers and the imagin... 
Tone, Tone, Tone !
Agreed. Tone and dynamics before detail. 
Dumped the rack
Maybe you should get a slab of concrete for your Sound Organization rack. Then you wont have to bend down so much, although 2 feet is still very short. 
Spectral amp/preamp
I do think that it's very expensive for what it is. It's funny, if you read their blurb about haw fast the amps are etc., it is pretty impressive; and they certainly look good, but in the end, it always comes down to how it sounds.  
Spectral amp/preamp
Now c'mon ebm. It may not be your taste, but garbage? I have heard a Spectral set up several times at a now closed audio store in Philly, and it wasn't my thing either, but it isn't garbage. 
Preamp no longer makes a difference after caps and wire
What amp are you using?  
Vincent Audio SV-500 Arriving Today
Considering that it's a hybrid amp, I'm surprised that you don't hear more of a difference, for better or worse. I guess give it a little time. 
Considering the New Tekton Design Encores? AND Owners Group - Experiences/Questions
I'm sure I would too. I was drooling when I read Terry London's review.
