If you love SET amplifiers, boy do I have speaker for you.
Hey Dan,You should contact Aric (413-627-2543) of AricAudio who builds great tube gear at very reasonable prices.  If you look him up on different AudioGon threads you will read nothing but accolades about him as a person and the hand-crafted piec... 
If you love SET amplifiers, boy do I have speaker for you.
Hey brownsfan,It will probably go up on hometheaterreview.com in March sometime. To drive a speaker with a 6SN7 is "mind boggling" without losing overall dynamics/lower bass/dB levels and keeping the beautiful purity of tonality, transparency, and...

Hey boxer12,The Tekton open baffle model was a great speaker if you love planar speakers, but want more dynamics and pinpoint imaging.  However, I never tried them with a SET amplifier, my hunch would be it would not be a great match.  The Model 5... 
Tekton Double Impacts
To answer jones4music directly:No, his patented design is unique and has nothing to do with Roger Russell's work or any past line array designs.  That's way he waited until his patent was accepted before he started to build the DI's and the genera... 
The first review on the Linear tube Audio MicroZOTL preamplifier has gone up
Hey supabayes,The Pass Labs HPA1, used as a preamplifier, is a terrific performing linestage.  I wrote a review on it and found that it surpassed the performance in my system of the Pass Labs three box reference preamp for so much less money.  Wha...

JAY'S Audio CDT-3-MK2 or PS Audio DirectStream Memory Player
Hello aolmrd1241,The Jay's transport does three things better in my system then the PS Audio: 1) It soundstages with a more accurate sense of space and layering in that space.  2) The individual images are more 3D with air around them.  3) There i... 
C.E.C TL2 replacement
Hey Mark,I have the CEC -TL3N, put it in my smaller system, and the Jay's transport replaced in the large reference system.  I have owned the Jay's piece for around 4 months and my opinion of it has not changed at all.  It's amazing that this much... 
JAY'S Audio CDT-3-MK2 or PS Audio DirectStream Memory Player
I have and the Jay's Audio CDT2 MK2 out performs the PS Audio. 
C.E.C TL2 replacement
Look at the thread on the Jay's Audio CDT-2 MK2 transport.  I replaced as my reference a CEC with this piece. 
If you still spin CD's their is a reference level Transport for reasonable money
Hey Celander,Yes, you will have to put batteries in your remote, they don't ship with them.  I only use the BNC out which does not reverse channels, so I can't address the issue with the RCA out.  Have fun and share what you think of its performan...

The new magnificent Linear Tube Audio MicroZOTL Preamplifier
Hey jriggy,Great question.  When I wrote my professional review on the Tekton Design Double Impact Speakers I used the term "aliveness" to try to convey that this speaker presented the music with the kick/pop of live music.  Yes, I could use more ...
