Tekton speaker comparison thread
I have been tempted to buy the Moabs. I have a buddy who heard them at a reviewers home during one of the Axpona shows and did not like them.  Gave me pause but may not ultimately stop me from acquiring them.  I am now at 4 two channel systems at ... 
Is the NuPrime CDT 9 Pro a Best Kept Secret?
I have the latest Jay's Audio CD transport.  Built like a tank is an accurate description.  Sonics are superb, especially thru the I2S output.  Highly recommended.  Cheap? No.   
Favorite cable brand.
Cullen Cables makes excellent interconnects and speaker cables.  I love them.Maze audio makes very good sounding interconnects.  
Supratek Owners Thread
I have the Cabarnet DHT/6SN7 and the Sachs preamps.  Both are excellent.  A choice is very much a matter of taste.  The Aussie preamp has a big, spacious clean and clear sound.  The Sahs amp throws a nice soundstage with crystalline clarity.  Both... 
SPL: Reference level performance, German build quality, and innovative designs
I got my SPL Elector preamp from Underwood HiFi within a few weeks of ordering it.  No real delay in delivery.  It has been in the box since arriving but will be put in play soon.

Elf Super Helix Gold speaker cable
Just ordered an 8 ft. pair of the super helix gold speaker cables.  Will post my impressions when they arrive and get hooked up.  I am very curious about the gold plated copper sound.  They are at a price point that is truly my sweet spot.

Neotech solid vs Dueland tinned vintage - spades? bananas? nothing?
I have tinned copper wire in two of my systems.  Cable pairs less than 100 bucks.  I love the sound of tinned copper.  None of my higher dollar speaker cables beat them and most don't touch it. 
DAC finalist please help
would describe it.  1100 bucks for a superb dac.  Disclaimer: there are many dacs out there that I have not heard.  I am inclined to believe that there is some magic in the R2R technology.  I have a Holo dac that I have yet to get operational.  Fi... 
DAC finalist please help
Have a recently purchased Musician Pegasus R2R dac for my exercise room system.  Ampzilla mononblocks, Musical Fidelity X-Ray CD player (used as a transport), Black Ice F-360 preamp, Maze Audio Interconnects, and Silverline Sonata Sonata speakers.... 
Building new system starting with power amp. What would you choose ?
Solid State: Ampzilla Monoblocks or PassLabs amps.  I have both.  Have the 250.5 PL amp- great sounding, presents solid state in a most pleasurable way.  Only problem is it weighs 100 pounds.  Just picked up a 150.5 PL amp.Tube: Canary Monoblocks....
