Tyler Acoustics Signature Monitors & stands?
Congrats on your Tyler Sig Monitors. That is the MTM design. On cdp's I have found the Cayin 17 to offer substantial bass with its dual power supply. + you get the benifit of the 4 6922's, which your all ss system could benifit from the tube chara... 
How do you determine how much to spend on speakers
I realize now what my future speaker will be. I orginally had my sights set on the Tyler Linbrook Sig Sys. In fact almost bought one used this weekend. BUT as my brother in law pointed out that speaker is 4 ohms, which my new Jdais Defy 7 could dr... 
certin speaker makers harder to get dissounts fro
You can walk in any dealer and make just about any fair reasonable offer and he'll take it. The Inet is killing the dealers. Just make your final offer and walk. He'll be calling. 
while waiting on a preamp for my DEFY 7/6550's
Posb My friend here in BR has the Ning da 7 pre that he is modifying , p;us a Redrose Levinson pre. I want him to test my Ming Da when ever it arrives. Be prepared to wait, I ordered mine 1 month ago, still waiting. I think once this pre hits, it'... 
Cayin A-300P or 300B Integrateds: Anyone?
I heard the cayin 300P push pull with sonata 2's. The finest 300 tube INTERGRATED. Absoluetly stunning. The Silverline Sonatas had issues in the mids.

Interesting comments. Seems I've read similiar comments on differences in Jadis' models....anyway I could also make comments on at least one other famous tube amp manufacturer, american. That I have issues with the sound. So I'm not going to knock...

Joe, I'm looking into the Telsa EL34's, the ones you suggested to me last yr for my JOR. Correct I did not bias the JOR to the 6550's. I just simply took 4 of the 6550's out the Defy and pluged them into the JOR to get a idea of what i'm in for."m...

well maybe the JOR is not biased to the 6550 and thats why it sounded off. Hopefully as you say the 6550 can "pull off" big orchestra as I like it. The KT90's are a tad hard edged. But I like bass/mids/highs separation that the 90 offers. . The pr...

Yes I see Svetlana EL34's new. This is the tube I will order.

Interesting. No wonder I do not see any EI KT90's for sale. The Ei KT90's in the JOR do well with orch and any other music for that matter. I'm still hoping Pierre has some laying around. I see the EL34's tube is shaped like the KT90 and as you su...

can anyone put me in touch with a dealer for the high quality czech KT90 tubes? Gabriel wants an 'arm and a leg" price.

look at the german web site for Cayin. trust me all their designs are top notch. The guts of the 17 are stunning!!!!Prima Luna is NOT Cayin. dream on. 
Best Tube CDP for $2000 Budget
Raed the specs on the dealer's web page here on audiogon. The 17 are SACD 50 do in fact have more than one component difference. Your "i've heard the SACD 50 and was not impressed' holds little value. The quad of Sovtek 6922' s only cost me $150 a...

Well don't then. "almost the same" but indeed they are NOT EXACTLY THE SAME PLAYER. Stock tubes its a great sound, Sovtek tubes even better. Prima Luna is the lower end line of cayin, ASFAIK. The only other player that interests me is the Melody, ...
