This thread...Wow. Just, wow. Talk about legs.Any of you guys in Texas? I’ll bring a six pack, or a bottle of good Scotch. Some high quality H2O, whatever. I’d love to hear these.(I owned Lores when they were first released and thought they were a... 
Tekton Impact
BTW, my post name is NOT meant to represent Tekton Designs.  It was just a name I picked because non of the other 25 names I picked worked... I suggest either putting that quote at the bottom of every one of your posts or changing your moniker,... 
Nick Drake: Five Leaves Left/ Is it just a bad recording
A little off topic I apologize, but if you like that ND album you may enjoy the Jason Parker Quartet's version. Available for download or CD, sounds very nice to me.http://music.oneworkingmusician.com/album/five-leaves-left-a-tribute-to-nick-drake 
The "most foolish" loudspeaker tweak/upgrade ... is
Long ago, I purchased a pair of speaker cables that dealer said were directional. He told me if I didn’t like the sound initially, he said to reverse the connections. Go figure....... My dealer told me the same thing.At first they made the music ... 
Why no tube loaner/testdrives--It's hard being an audiophile
I'd say the reason there are no "tube loaners" is that tubes don't have serial numbers so someone could borrow a new set and return a spent set. Cables don't have serial numbers either, but they aren't consumed with use. 
Audio Technica ART9 sounds awful
The soundstage is shifted to the left. I never heard either situation from the 10x5... Well it would seem that there is something wrong here, either with the cartridge itself or installation/setup.

I have owned 2 pairs of Eric's speakers, still own one pair. Without question great value for the money. I spoke to Eric on the phone several times and was impressed, seems like a real good guy.Someone in this thread is posting not about pseudo sc... 
Parallel SET with sufficient power
2 for 2.That's all the advice I would need. 
What to do with old LP inner sleeve?
If the original inner sleeve has info specific to the album I keep it. If it's just one of those so very common generic label advertisement sleeves I chuck it. I don't care about the generics, and I doubt anyone else does either.  
A speaker that looks like a driver or a driver that looks like a speaker?
Can you get one finished, or do they only come in kit form? 
Anticables
I went on the site of Anticables. Looks less impressive than Radio Shack. $600 for a pair? Really? Thanks for letting us know. I'll share this with our local audio club. Share what, that they need a better website? 
What is best tweeter height for the Devore O/96?
The 0/96s sure do sound nice to me, and I think the look is really nice. I own the somewhat similar Ponginae P/99s from a different manufacturer.Are the DeVores worth the price tag? If you believe they are then they are, same as everything else. 
Pani ... New ART-9 up and running ...
@Avanti - In my system I can only compare to my Rega Apollo CD player, but of course I have heard many other good digital sources.The Art-9 is pretty much the opposite of dull/dark in my system. I bi-amp and have the ability to adjust tweeter vs. ... 
Pani ... New ART-9 up and running ...
I have only about 10 hrs. on the Art-9 after 2 weeks (travel, work...life just gets in the way sometimes). I have the loading on my Pass Labs Ono @ 1,000R and have not played with it. I haven't played with VTF either, it is set at factory recommen...
