Tekton Double Impacts
Hey @teajay Thanks again to you as well, I really appreciated our conversation, it was very helpful in moving past some things that were blocking my decision.  Your guidance and honesty was helpful.  I agree about Mike, it's very obvious he wants ...

@corelli  No worries!   I did track down the ground loop.  It was a Cat7 shielded ethernet cable going to the Lumin.  Changed to an unshielded Cat6 cable and no hum.  Weird.  Going in for a nice listen now.  :)   Wife and kids are out getting read...

Hey @lancelock me too!  I haven't tried using the analogue setup yet, just the Lumin.  Unfortunately, I am trying to run down a ground loop that seems to have found its way into my system.  My room is isolated (installing a few dedicated circuits ...

@david_ten Thank you!  I really appreciated the conversation, it was most helpful in making the decision.  Already, it is exceeding my expectations.

I am happy to report that my DI SE's arrived safe and sound today! I want to take a moment and thank Mike Kay at Audio Archon. If anyone is looking for someone to assist with their audio needs, be it Tekton or otherwise, Mike is a fantastic guy ...

@oddiofyl I just don’t know if I’d miss having a remote. Might be a deal breaker.

@david_ten I have to say, I really went back and forth between the vivids and the spendor sp2/3r2.

Thanks to you @david_ten for the compliment, the lyric sure is gorgeous.  I bet it sounds great. And thank you @mountainsong for introducing me to yet another drool worthy amp. ;) 
Picking a Tube integrated amp
@david_ten thanks for the advice, I’ll update when I do make a decision.  It’s funny how what sounds good to you may be awful to me. I listened to a $4500 pair of Dynaudio speakers and had to turn them off after a few minutes. Tried three differen...

 I have added the VTL to the list of contenders.  David, I’ll look into those as well.

Thanks for the responses.  Facten, i don’t really listen at all that loud levels, so I am pretty sure these amps will all work for my needs. Most of my listening is light rock and mostly jazz.  I guess my question is more around whether a 6-10 yea...
