Thin Line Between Critique and Courtrooms: A Dialogue on the Recent Audiophile Drama
Interesting how the majority of folks have focused upon the lawsuit and the review details. What stands out to me is Tekton Man’s improper responses to handling the review and any criticism.  We’ve seen on forums as well.   If you can’t put your b... 
Thin Line Between Critique and Courtrooms: A Dialogue on the Recent Audiophile Drama
Yet another display of low class bullying tactics by the Tekton Man.   This behavior will continue until he drives his business to closure.  We have seen his true colors on this forum as he does a World Class job of building haters. It’s time for... 
Going Tubing
I have GE Triton 2’s which are similar at 91db and have had 3 different tube amps that easily drove the Tritons.  I prefer lower volume (50-80db) with a full meaty sound and had no issues with any of them.  Started out with a Jolida 1102 Integrate... 
Anyone having shipping issues with Viva Tubes
For all the good comments I have heard about Viva Tubes I had a poor result with them in my only purchase.  I ordered a Russian NOS matched pair of preamp tubes.  It took several days to ship them and when they arrived they looked very used and th... 
Sagging power plugs in wall outlet, diy
@goose excellent suggestion and will give it a try.👍  
eBay
15% is the price of admission to their vast buying audience and site logistics.  Seems fair enough to me.  I have bought and sold a lot of Tubes (best site to sell on) , CD’s and LP’s  with great success on eBay.  Higher priced items like componen... 
Cable Break In for the Naysayers
@audiom3  NPS Qt-45 is worth i. t I think it makes a definite improvement.  It’s 40% off at the Cable Company now!  
Sagging power plugs in wall outlet, diy
@erik_squires Thanks…I was thinking the same about the 90 degree plug as the solution.  The locking plugs are interesting but not audiophile quality and only go down to 14 ga.  Also, no explanation and not clear how they actually lock 🤔  
Sagging power plugs in wall outlet, diy
Ok. Now that we got the wall plug solution….How do we fix the loose component plug that drops off due to heavy plugs/cables?  This is a bigger problem here.  
What High End AC Cables should Offer
@erik_squires or you could buy one of AE’s  power strip boxes have them install the 45 plug and move it away. What I really  like is AE’s cables are light, flexible and easy to work with.  Not stiff huge heavy hoses…works for me!  
What High End AC Cables should Offer
Audio Envy offers them at both ends as an upgrade. I am a fan of Captains cables.  Great performance at amazing prices.    
Ohm Acoustic Corp., Brooklyn NY
I have been wanting to try a pair of current Ohm’s for several years and just picked up a used 6 year old pair of Walsh Tall 2000’s.  My (somewhat challenged) room was right at the maximum recommended size for these speakers but  I prefer lower vo... 
Stereophile review of the $30,000 tekton speakers
 Oh @bigtwin nailed it🤩…Too big and ugly to roommate with everyday.  Many other choices…Give me water over light beer😜IPA please🍻  
Just FYI: Tidal is consolidating their HiFi and HiFi Plus tiers
@moonwatcher agreed they should have just let the year term expire rather than cancel mid-year.  I never received an email notification unless spam screened it?I also bought one month of a third party software access to transfer all my Tidal info ...
