Have you moved away from full range to standmount speakers + subs?
Hey there black WRX guy. Are you a subaru fan? It seems to be your handle “blkwrxwgn”I think Miller Carbon is a Tekton fan. He uses them for his basis of comparison. I use my speakers as a basis of comparison as well. If your sensitive and don’t l... 
Helping a kid out
This whole thread was worth it for the comment from Miller carbon! The Basie Sinatra album. Damn! That’s cool. I’m on it. I checked it out and must have a copy on wax! Thanks MC. You’re the man

I second the bottle head. I’ve never heard of anything less that stellar come from those guys. However, if the guy is not up to that type of effort in learning to solder and assemble, the schiit mani really is a very good alternative to onboard ph...

The Lifespan of an LP?
I’ve bought some pretty beat up Lps and cleaned them well. When I used a micro line stylus the record sounded pretty darn good. I guess my point is that even if you “wore a record out” there are ways to access more of the groove. Those same record... 
Full circle and thinking about speakers
Have you considered a sub? I know It seems off topic but hear me out. I just bought a REL sub and I couldn't believe it but the highs sounded more sparkling and detailed than before. The midrange sounded more fleshed out and the bass is so texture... 
Full circle and thinking about speakers
The Cronus is supposedly pretty amazing. It sounds like a great place to focus your system around. As has been mentioned, Tekton speakers offer a lot of value for your buck. Not freakin pretty but I was definitely surprised by what I heard coming ...
