VAC 30/70...pick your pre?
Thanks Al! Wonderfully helpful 
VAC 30/70...pick your pre?
Al, The space is open to the front, back, and sides (I use a Salamander triple 20); and although my current amp (though only 6L6 and not 845s) has 10 inches of clearance with about 350W consumption, I have added a small sheet of thermal radiant ba... 
VAC 30/70...pick your pre?
Charles, I think I am going to try NYC as it's only a couple hours from Philly; I don't know if they currently carry either of them though.  Texas is a bit far, although I do have plenty of airline miles, but they currently only have the 508, as t...

Wig, nice to hear as the 160 was on the list. Helping solidify the decision and now Im torn between the 508 and 219 at this point.   
“Invest” in Tekton?
kdude66, saw the info about the DI SE's also; you mention dealer only; does anyone have a list of dealers; can't seem to find one on the site...would be interested in the SE's at 6k.  
“Invest” in Tekton?
To everyone that has talked to or emailed Eric and had discussions about the DIs, do you have a backline or special hidden email, etc?  :) ... I have been wanting to order these throughout the week and have gotten no response, which based on anoth... 
Tekton Electron has been released
I am also in the electron vs DI camp; mainly regarding the room size; speaker height etc not so much an issue.  I believe Eric likely has been very busy, as I emailed him this question, though without a response-- And would like to know his though...

Agreed Walter and Charles!  Looking forward to hearing back Walter re: the 508.  I was in touch with Whetstone, who has a 508 in stock.  Seems like almost a toss up between the 508 and 219 (with a higher efficiency speaker).  The 8ohm DI is intere...

Charles, thanks for the feedback. I actually talked to Eric from Tekton and David from Whetstone re: LM today. Was trying to PM you to avoid stretching this on here, but I can’t find that function. As to Al, John and the others as well, again much... 
VAC 30/70...pick your pre?
Thanks John, I have looked at the Devore orangutan in the past and almost purchased, until I got the wharfedales as a demo for nearly 75% off. I guess I'm honestly not 100% set on SET, but have liked what I hear from a 300b.  Even in some of the p...

So I'm coming to believe that perhaps I should change my speakers first, and ones that are more efficient to allow for a greater breadth of amp choice.  I'm imagining 92db and greater then if I want to use SET down the line? A number I enjoyed yes...

Thanks John and Charles, I just upgraded my TT from a mmf 5 to the TNT.  I'll admit I didn't know the TNT was an entry level table (I know it's not a 20k table though too).  Perhaps I'm just to rookie (or poor) for this :) .I did transfer my cart ... 
VAC 30/70...pick your pre?
Thanks Al, was worried about that too with a pre like the et3.  The digital system will be completely separate and my current speakers will go with that (possibly even solid state).  Decisions decisions...esp hearing such good things about LM 
VAC 30/70...pick your pre?
Thanks all for the input: Some additional info that may be helpful: Current setup: Vinyl only (second digital setup to be built in next year or so)-Melody SP3/6550 (heavily rolled with Winged C 6l6’s, NOS RCA triple plate ax7’s, NOS RCA clear top ... 
VAC sigma 160 vs. Primaluna HP vs. other
Thanks!  Been looking at the LM line recently; very intrigued; just worry about being able to push my speakers--87db, 6ohms; smallish room.  Was a 219 for sale that is really tough to pass up; as well as an Allnic T2000
