Synergistic New Tesla Line...Any comments?
Glory, yes this all would be quite expensive. I am going to try adding two Basik art systems after I use them in my small listening room in a summer home.I am assured that a 10 x 13 x 8 foot room can be made to sound much larger. I will report on ...

Kw13, there is no answer to your question. Obviously, you have to make your own decision, but hearing them is a must.They were a major stretch financially for me, but I heard them. If you look at the workmanship, the drivers and other components a... 
Ortofon MC A90 Cartridge VTF
Downunder, yeah, I read it and tried it. As judged by a bubble balance, I am very slightly down in back. I guess he was probably tracking at 2.3 grams. I am at 2.02. So I should be even more up in back. 
Synergistic New Tesla Line...Any comments?
I think the initial placement is as it was, except that the Vibratron is more open in its placement, requiring more experimentation. And this entails a stand for it, like SR uses at shows. The side wall Magnetrons go half way between your ears and... 
Why Don't More People Love Audio?
Given the lack of fidelity in many, or even most, pop music today, high fidelity probably worsens the experience of listening. Also, so many other ways to spend your leisure hours are now available.It matters little to me as my grandchildren do ap... 
Ortofon MC A90 cartridge
Last weekend several friends from Houston were up and said that they had their Ortofon A-90s set a 2.01 grams. I tried it and actually set it at 2.02 grams. I did have to raise the VTA up to compensate, of course. Overall, I am most happy with the... 
Synergistic New Tesla Line...Any comments?
Adwiegert, my Mac laptop sits on two MIGs in the back and one in the front, all in the Pin-Point configuration. All of this is on top my StillPoints rack, which of course means I am gilding the lilly. Nevertheless, it makes a big difference. Last ... 
How international is your system?
The expensive Euro has blocked my interest in European electronics. I have German speakers and Danish tt and cartridge. I also have a Chinese universal player. Everything else is from small American manufacturers. 
Synergistic New Tesla Line...Any comments?
Adwiegert, there will soon be a recommendation of using four new Magnetrons, all on the front or speaker wall, and one new Bass Station for your rear wall. The new sidewall, Magnetron position does wonders.All that I can say about MIG positioning ... 
Preamp Deal of the Century
I no longer have any need for the various 6SN7 tubes I found. I sold almost all of my tubes to a younger friend. He wondered what use they were. If you are interested in them, email me and I will put you into contact with him.

I Thought Ebm meant Stealth V10, but I see no such animal there. Tell us about your experiences with the Teo References.

Lucky boy, small company and large demand.

Argyro, I agree with Kclone about all of us going through the wait. I should also say that these speakers are so revealing that you may have another adjustment period to come as you cull through your equipment finding the weak links.Do you have a ... 
Synergistic New Tesla Line...Any comments?
I have now had several people who had previously heard my present system who have listened in the last several days after I merely moved the Magnetrons on the side back to half-way between the front of my Tidal speakers and my ears. Both asked wha... 
The best speaker you ever heard?
I have not heard a broken in Sunray and have only heard the Arrakis once at a show, but I have heard the Tidal Contriva Discera SE under comparable circumstances and have always been shocked at their fidelity to the instruments and voices in the r...
