Tekton Double Impacts(4 ohm version) with two distinct amps.
Here we go again, another endless Tekton post. 
Audible Illusions M3B question
AI is not a scam company, but I believe it is something like a 3 person operation.  I have had all 3 Modulus preamps, Modulus 3, Modulus 3A and Modulus 3B.  I got tired of the stepped volume controls where I couldn't find a comfortable setting.  T... 
Classe moving up to power amp from integrated?
The Sim Audio integrateds sound quite similar to the Classe.  You may want to check them out as  
Vandersteen Quatro CT or Wilson Sabrina
A further comment, I owned Vandersteen 2ci speakers for 20+ years and they sounded excellent on Classical, Jazz, and Rock.  I was powering it at the time with a Classe 10 amp and Audible Illusions Modulus 3 preamp.  As I have heard every Vanderste... 
My Quicksilver preamp inverts polarity
I had all three iterations of the Audible Illusions Modulus 3 preamp and all of them inverted polarity, as did the Rogue RP-5 preamp.  I just switched the connections at the speaker end and left it at that.  Never bothered me.

Racks - what’s awesome without impacting my kids college plans?
Look at the Solid Steel racks.  They are very well made, very sturdy and won't break the bank. 
Vandersteen Quatro CT or Wilson Sabrina
No one should have to convince you, as you will be living with them, not us.  If you are that unsure, I would re-audition both of them again. 
Is Velodyne gone?
@teo_audio...……………."Lidar, if it was on the Tesla cars, might have prevented all deaths so far. That’s how good it is."This is pure speculation on your part.  Do you have any REAL proof of this? 
Esoteric K-01x - would you add an Esoteric Robidum clock to this player ?
@garebear …………………There is one for sale here today and I believe the person is asking around 11K or so for it. 
Carver Amazing Line Source Speakers
I heard them at the RMAF in the Bob Carver room.  They were driven by his 350 tube monoblocks and the sound was very full and engaging..  I really wasn't paying too much attention to the sound as I was busy talking with Bob about life and things. ... 
Keep Adcom GFP-750 or Replace
@timlub...………………..Still, I wouldn't blow $1200.00 updating an older preamp, but that is just me. 
Esoteric K-01x - would you add an Esoteric Robidum clock to this player ?
IMHO, I think that would be overkill.  I have an Esoteric UX-3 which I love and I tried the Esoteric clock that was going to cost me 3K.  I tried it for a few days and really couldn't tell the difference.  At times I thought I did hear a differenc... 
The best place in NYC
Audio Connection has many multiple systems set up and you don't need an appointment.  In addition, Johnny R will never steer you wrong.  Just saying. 
Keep Adcom GFP-750 or Replace
I would ditch the Adcom and get a real piece of high end gear.  I owned an Adcom amp & preamp (their best at the time) and didn't think it was anything special.  There is a lot better out there.  I would not waste 1200.00 on any preamp having ...
