| Speaker recommendation thread (Organised by tiers of price) $1,000 - $5,000 ~ Tekton PendragonsI have been living with these speakers for almost 6 months, and I love em so far. Cost is obviously kept down substantially by buying directly from Eric Alexander and Tekton. A great buy at a little under $2,000. | |
| looking for a tube preamps that doesn't sound like SS Rogue stuff is pretty nice. I’ve been using a Rogue 66 pre for a while now, and I really dig it. No urge to upgrade (as of yet). @tonydennison has a great idea with the Quicksilver too.If you’re a diy kinda guy, the Bottlehead SET looks very cool ... | |
| Weight, Clamp or stabilizer? For a platter mat, you could look into the Herbies Way Excellent mat. They’re made extremely well and can be ordered for any turntable. I’ve had mine for a few yrs now, and I really dig it. You could also check out an Achromat, which are very high... | |
| Best speakers for a Pass XA 30.5 I would personally recommend a pair of Tekton spkrs. I own a pair of Pendragons, and they sound absolutely phenomenal. Nothing gets past em with the amount of detail they deliver. Pass Labs amplifiers sound amazing through Tekton spkrs. I’ve heard... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? Pixies MoFi pressings vs 4AD U.K. 1st pressings. The 4AD pressings seem to be surprisingly more open and dynamic. | |
| Selling Tubes. @markhh2You could try Greg at Cranky’s amp repair. He’s been a very close friend of mine for many years, and he is strictly a tube guy. There’s nothing Greg doesn’t know about tubes. He’s been doing it for almost 40 years. - Nick | |

| Turntable Mat question I’ve tried a lot of mats on my SL1200, and ended up going with a Herbies Way Excellent ll Mat. You can get them in basically any diameter and thickness to suit your particular turntable. | |
| Increasing gain for your vinyl front end when pre-amp doesn't quite have enough juice @millercarbon seems to be on the right track, IMHO | |
| What equipment have you bought this year so far ? - Pair of Tekton Pendragon spkrs- Goldring 1042 cartridge- DIY way upgraded and modded EAR 834p phono stage, which came out amazingly! | |
| Looking for an integrated tube amp under $2500 I’d suggest the Rogue Cronus Magnum too, or a PrimaLuna integrated. I’d think that either one would work well with your spkrs. This may sound stupid, but I always just put the grills on my spkrs for recordings that are a bit too bright, because I ... |
