Cerious Technologies NEW Graphene Cables
Just wondering if the moniker 'ptss" stands for "petty troll says something"? Seems like a good fit. 
Thoughts on Big Star
One thing I have learned over the decades is that there is just no way to predict or account for personal taste in music. You either get it or you don't--or somewhere in between. That can even vary among albums by the same artist. For instance, I ... 
Phono cable advice.
@lewm A big shout-out to lewm for recommending the Anti-cables. I went with the top of the line and had them burned in for 150 hours for an extra twenty bucks. I got them yesterday and am truly astonished by how they have transformed my vinyl play... 
Help me choose a speaker match for my Line Magnetic 805ia tube amp under $10K
@freesole--- The Double Impacts are tremendous speakers, but the Encores just do everything better--greater clarity, a more holographic sound stage with pin-point imagining, much more authoritative bass, and so on. The Encores have effectively end... 
Help me choose a speaker match for my Line Magnetic 805ia tube amp under $10K
Tekton Encores.I had the Line Magnetic 508ia, and it was sublime with my Tekton Double Impacts, even better with the Encores. I've had quite a few sets of highly regarded speakers over the years, including Vienna Acoustics, Piega, Daedalus, Intuit...

@sbank I sent you a PM, Spencer. Needless to say, you got my attention! 
Thoughts on Big Star
Yes, virtually everything they ever recorded is on Tidal, the three studio albums, as well as live performances and the Keep an Eye on the Sky box set, which has a ton of demos and outtakes for true fanatics. 
Thoughts on Big Star
Big Star is one of my favorite bands and has been for nearly forty years. I consider all three of their studio albums essential--#1 Record, Radio City, and Third/Sister Lovers. All three albums sound very different, and I like them all. They are n... 
Tekton Electron has been released
@evolvist--your sour grapes are beginning to ferment. 
Lyngdorf and Phono Stages
Hi Dave,I made the move to the Lyngdorf TDAI-3400, and sold my DAC and integrated amp. I still have an Allnic H1201, so there are still some tubes in my system, and I must tell you that even though I was skeptical of how vinyl would sound through ... 
Tekton Double Impacts
I have owned three pairs of Tektons: the Double Impacts, the SEs, and now the Encores. In all three cases, the finish was just fine. I am particularly fond of the Encores done in Spanish Tile soft gloss. Some say the Tektons are ugly, but I think ... 
Counterfeit DL103?
There really is no excuse for this kind of overt racism in the forum. Disgraceful. 
Considering the New Tekton Design Encores? AND Owners Group - Experiences/Questions
I guess beauty is in the eye of the beholder, and it was ever thus. I brought in the Pure Audio Project Trio15 Horn1 speakers and thought they looked kind of cool, but my wife literally wept once we assembled them and she got a good look at them. ... 
Who has Luv for the Lyngdorf 2170 and is thinking about the 3400.
Maybe there is some special synergy with the Lyngdorf and Tekton Encores--I think there are at least three of us now running the combo with overwhelmingly satisfactory results--but the one thing that this discussion demonstrates (as has been demon... 
We lost an audiophile and a friend- RIP- Joe
Very sorry for your loss. He sounds like a nice fellow. RIP.
