Amp or speaker issue?
Had the same problem on one of the Vandersteen 2CE speakers I was using. Removed the woofer and sent it to Vandersteen. Seems the glue holding the surround lost its grip and the speaker voice coil came uncentered. Vandersteen sold me another woofe...

Review on Tekton Design Perfect Set Speaker just went live on Six Moons.com
@teajay...…………………………..The article was excellent reading.  Nice room for the system and nice pieces of gear as well. 
Bryston XLR vs Pangea Premier SE XLR
Tried Pangea power cords, the AC9 SE MKII and the AC14 SE MKII and they sucked the life out of my system.  Back in went all my Shunyata cords and I have been happy ever since. 
Tube Pre Amp or Tube Phono stage
I run my ZU/Denon DL 103 via my tube preamp and load it at 200 ohms which sounds perfect to me.

Kenwood KA 8100 Integrated Amp...No sound in left channel ?
Dirty contacts. I sold Kenwood in the 70’s into the early 80’s and many came into our service department with noisy controls.

Rega RP3 or Mofi Studio Deck ?
Never heard the MoFi deck and not sure if the Rega RP3 is the same as the Planer 3 which is what I had.  I owned it for less than a year and quickly moved on to VPI.  I felt the sound to be quite liteweight. 
Wilson Watt Puppy 7
There is a  pair of McIntosh MC501 mono-blocks here for sale for around 5-6 grand.  I believe they put out 90 amps of current each and do 500wpc. 
Classe CDP-202 vs McIntosh MCD550 and Esoteric K-07x
The Oppo 205 was very bright and hard sounding compared to either my McIntosh or Esoteric SACD Player.  My Esoteric player uses the pcm1704 r to r ladder dac which I feel is one of the smoothest sounding DACs.

Classe CDP-202 vs McIntosh MCD550 and Esoteric K-07x
I own an Esoteric X3 SACD Player and a McIntosh MCD301 SACD Player and the Esoteric is at least 25% better than the Mac.  I love them both but much prefer the presentation by the Esoteric.
