Tekton haters and bashers you just got a new target!
No, nothing remotely flagship...  
Flat speaker cables versus round core cables
The Silversmith Fideliums are not bright. Audio Envy SP-12 aren't exactly flat, but they're not round either.  
Shrill high frequencies
Did you try the Isotek PC that came with the unit?  I too have a Sigmas and have noticed no brightness at all.  I use a Synchro with it, but a regular PC would be fine.  
Tube Rolling Advice for the Backert Labs Rhumba Extreme?
I will endorse the latest iteration of the Psvane tubes as the best new-production 12AU7's to use in the Backert.  In my experience they are only surpassed by the NOS Amperexes that I mentioned above, which are very hard to find and very expensive... 
Help me choice Audioquest speaker cables
My dealer suggested I USE REDWOOD cables.  I bet he did, because he's an entirely disinterested party.  Quality cables do make a difference, but there's a law of diminishing returns.  You don't need to spend anything like that much to achieve c... 
Tekton haters and bashers you just got a new target!

Classical Music for Aficionados
I have Marik Janowski Brahms 2+3 sitting in my Amazon cart at the moment.  The thing is, I can't remember now why I added that recording.  
What does Q mean in speaker specifications?
 
Name this wonderful system
The only connection between the music heard and the image seen is that someone decided to marry up the two for a youtube video.  Is the Accuphase integrated even turned on???  
Just curious if any of you are using a device like this?
Or this?    
Pacific Audio Fest
@shkong78 Thanks for these videos! The Voxativ / Spatial especially interesting in comparing the same presentation. I preferred the Voxativ, but not by much, and at 2 1/2 time more expensive, that puts the Spatial in a very good light.  
Tyler Acoustic speakers
The T2 looks very promising. Now what we need is a shootout between it and the Philharmonic BMR tower. (hint, hint)    
My experience with the First Watt F7
@audition__audio Whatever deficiencies you heard in the AGD room, I can assure people that they cannot be laid at the feet of the amp(s).  It was most likely the hotel room and the setup.  In my system, only very poorly recorded material (e.g. har... 
Considering a new amp for my Vandersteen Quatro CT
Belles Virtuoso power amp.  Order one from Johnny Rutan.  
Something on top of a speaker=okay?
