| Focal 1028BE2's or Tekton Moab Towers @squeak_king_77,you are so right. When I returned a pair of Pendragons, Eric told me he would deduct money for each fingerprint left on the speakers. I wore cotton gloves and wiped the cabinets with a microfiber cloth before putting the plastic b... | |
| What has been your costliest mistake in this hobby? Biggest mistake I made was buying a pair of highly regarded floorstanding speakers which got many great reviews without ever hearing them first. They sounded God-awful so naturally it couldn’t be the speakers. I replaced every component and wire... | |

| Gryphon Mojo S or MBL 120’s? I have heard the latest MBL 101 speakers and if I had the right room, would own them in a heartbeat. I believe the 120 are a scaled down version of the big boys. To me it would be a no brainer to get the 120’s If you have the room to set them up... | |
| Conrad Johnson PV12 Help Needed Why not call Conrad Johnson and get the right part for your piece? It’s probably only a few bucks. When I called them in 2018, they were very accommodating | |
| PrimaLuna Preamp Upgrade Question Are you getting any noise in your system? If not, I would concentrate on getting the basics dialed in before I dropped a lot of coin on a power conditioner. What is it you do not like about your Focals? If it were I, I would experiment with spe... | |
| Considering the New Tekton Design Encores? AND Owners Group - Experiences/Questions I have heard Allnic equipment and again, you have excellent taste. Enjoy your system. | |
| Cary Audio CD 306 SACD player (non Pro version) @mahler123,nope, wrong disk. | |
| Considering the New Tekton Design Encores? AND Owners Group - Experiences/Questions @jcarcopo,I checked out your system and it is a very well thought out and put together system. The Art Audio tube amp is really something special. I heard their amps at an audio show and if I was to buy a tube Integrated, Art Audio would be on my... | |
| Sophia Electric EL34 or KT88 ?? I had good luck with shuguang EL34 tubes in a Rogue Cronus Mafgnum, much more refined than the KT120's that the amp came with. I hear the Gold Lion power tubes are good too, I use 6 of their signal tubes in my preamp. | |
| Amp Pairing for Aerial Acoustics 6Ts. Belles Aria? Not sure of price. | |
| Cary Audio CD 306 SACD player (non Pro version) Do you know someone who has a SACD player you can try it on to see if it is fact the CD? | |
| Considering the New Tekton Design Encores? AND Owners Group - Experiences/Questions @jcarcopo,Touchy, aren’t we? All I said was I bet they compare to my speakers, I do not care who gives up expensive Speakers for the Tektons. I owned a pair of Pendragons 5 years ago, they sounded like crap and Eric gave me a hard time when I wa... | |
| Which tubes best for Magnum Dynalab 106t tuner? When I had my Magnum 102 T tuner, I used NOS Mullard tubes. The sound was what I was looking for, but they went microphonic within 8 months. I purchased them from Uncle Kevvy at Upscale and they were rated as platinum( their best tubes). At 8 mo... | |
| Cary Audio CD 306 SACD player (non Pro version) I own that Acoustic Sounds SACD and my Esoteric player reads it very fast. If your system is 2 channel like mine, be sure to use the SACD stereo layer, NOT the multi-channel layer. |
