Tekton Double Impacts vs the competition....
@arcticdethTekton’s are great ....I really think it depends on what amp is driving them...I had a Lyngdorf 2170 , but when I switched to Manley 100w Snapper Mono blocks the difference was quite staggering in the bottom. I currently own the Tekton ...

One Channel Down in Preamp Help
I choose to just have 2 of everything! I hate sending in gear & being down for a month ...My buddy who has dealt with Manley for years said "They will kick you to the back of the line, it'll take a long time" 😞 
Genalex Gold Lion 12AX7 - different grades?

@tablejockey thanks so much , this helps...I have had my eye on the AT ART-9 for quite a while ...and I'm hesitant to do a trade in deal with Ortofon due to the Quintet Black crapping out after 23 months...I noticed Audio Technica original ART-9 d... 
Purple Heart = Purple Rain?
@big_greg :Kron doesn't offer much of a warranty other than if you have a problem come back to me & 100% won't cover any stylus issue because you can always point to user error , so thats a big gamble for me. I wish there was a way to audition...
