Brand New Warped albums!
@tomic601   Thank you! 
Tekton Design's new THE PERFECT SET equals "goosebumps time"
I read the entire link and snooze alert, it sounded like a lot of gobbledygook to me. This is coming from a guy with a degree in mechanical engineering.  
Brand New Warped albums!
I sent the box set back and they replaced it.  The new one was fine. I just received 6 more records from them last week but I am under the weather so I haven’t opened them yet.  I haven’t played the stereo since my illness as I have a continued sp... 
Tekton Design's new THE PERFECT SET equals "goosebumps time"
@teajay...........yes, I bought Pendragons from Tekton.  Sounded like crap and back they went.  Cost me almost 400.00 in shipping costs. If memory serves me correct, there were 2 pro sound woofers  and 3 tweeters in an array.  Worst speakers I eve...

You have enough inventory to open a small audio shop! 
Sources for Focal 1038Be II

Tekton Design's new THE PERFECT SET equals "goosebumps time"
@teajay...…………………………………..Since every Tekton Speaker you review is an audio gift from Heaven, perhaps we all should just buy Tekton.   We could all save a lot of money.   Looks to me like he takes the same basic drivers and puts them in different s... 
GO PATS!
Not a football fan even though I live 20 miles from the Patriots stadium.  I would like to see Tom Brady get his sixth Super Bowl ring.  May the football Gods smile down upon them.

Life of KT150 tubes on ARC Amps
I got schooled pretty good.  Beautiful system, all top quality pieces.  My congratulations to the owner. 
Life of KT150 tubes on ARC Amps
@jea48................just because the amps are 22K each doesn’t mean the guy is rich.  For all I know, he could have taken a home equity loan on them.  It is a lot of money for anyone to own those amps and have to retube  them every 2000 hours.  ... 
Life of KT150 tubes on ARC Amps
That’s one reason I wouldn’t go back to a tube amp.  I listen at least 8 hours a day, every day (retired) and that would be 2 full sets of KT150 tubes a year which equates to over a thousand dollars!  It’s a good way to go broke fast.   
Difference in sound between day and night. Help!
Sounds about normal. Less machinery is used in the manufacturing process at night, hence lower noise floor.  If I were you, I would look into a portable nuclear reactor to wire directly to your audio system.
