most beautiful (looking) speakers
erik_squires- One of the reasons I like the Stradavari is they remind me of my Rogersound Labs Speedscreens from 1987. Made in Northridge Ca. They were my first "real" hifi  speaker.   They certainlydidn't sound anything close to the Sradavari, ... 
Anyone near Bergen County NJ have a pair of Tekton speakers I could listen to?
Round up a dozen or so people together, someone can order a pair. Organize the listening session and everyone attending chips in for the big return shipping bill.

I've been mesmerized by these since hearing them-Sonus Faber Stradavari Not crazy priced too-$15-20K if you do your homework.

"Why are so many of you still writing checks? For estimated taxes, the IRS site takes electronic payments. " tk21- I think most of us know. I write a check as a...nevermind    
ECD Mikey Hit's a Homer or is he Homer.
Couldn't get past 2 minutes of "the message" whatever it was. Just not an engaging personality. If he had winning lottery numbers, but I had to wait until the end of the video....I'll just stay broke.    
180g new vs. NM used
Using the Tusk as example- Reference deadwax info for early press(barcode and other identifiers section) since it’s the closet to the original tape. NOT a guarantee it will sound "better" which is completely subjective and can be another argument...

Taxes, taxes...and more taxes! You people outside of California have it easy. We get hammered, then hammered some more AND we have to be mindful of EVERYTHING that comes out of our mouths because someone is gonna get offended and label you a HAT...

"Taxes are taxes wherever one lives, that said cheques still must be  an American thing, living in Canada it must be at least 25 years since  I last had a cheque book every thing being electronic."   totem395, technically, our bill in the Sta... 
NEWEST Rolling stones Mono reissues.
lordmelton- "You need the DSD versions, honestly who wants to listen to mono?" Mono in some cases, enhances the "illusion" of the band in a imaginary stage formation rather than a recording studio. No hard L/R like those awful Beatles recordings...

"My wife and I paid every year and always a few thousand extra.  Since being retired, we now get a refund of a couple of thousand." stereo5- that's great. I am looking forward to joining that seemingly elusive club. I've got 7 years to go until F... 
Rega p10 vs SME 12A
If you decide on the Rega P10, most certainly get the Aphelion. Rega is for someone who wants a "high enough" performance with plug and play convenience. I say "high enough" because upper level setups require a certain amount of obsession and neu...

"Save some more for the heavy floor bracing" Slaw-Im on 100 year old floors. 800 lbs of Tech Das indeed requires proper staging. I could put it in the garage and stare at it.

The whole process of check writing, addressing envelope and affixing stamp is painful. Letting go of the envelope in the mailbox is a traumatic experience. TGIF. Happy Weekend.  
LSA 20 Statements review
"I have no idea if they are coated copper beryllium or not." ddonicht-keeping with the price point reasoning, it's safe to say they are not true beryllium tweeters. Typical models start around $10K. They really cheaped out not providing a more s... 
Fuse Direction for Pass Labs Amp and Preamp
It's an audio forum... People don't want to give up on their fuses and assorted other quantum kniffle frequency boosters. Atmasphere and other legit manufacturers who post here will always get pushback from the other "experts." mitchb- hopefull...
