Best 6NS7 Preamp for a Pass Labs XA25 amp
Another recommendation for Aric Audio! I have a pair of XA60.8 and use the very first Motherlode preamp from Aric. It bests any piece I had in the system prior! Call him. 
Full feature preamp $1500
Go to Aric Audio's site, then give him a call. 
Help in putting together my system with used equipment on Audiogon and eBay.
Get over your fascination with B&W...as it has been mentioned, far overrated.  
Aric Audio? First Watt? PrimaLuna?
Upsacale Audio will absolutely try to push their product...they are as self serving as they come.  I own both Aric Audio gear and Pass gear and will recommend with no hesitation reaching out to Aric at Aric Audio. I have his Motherlode pre, and ha... 
Looking for the Best Integrated High Current Amplifier 250-300 WPC
Your Focal's are likely the reason for your merry-go-round like set up. Great midrange, but lack in everything else. I know because I had them for a couple of months. Before the Sopra II, I had a pair of PSB Stratus Gold(and still do awaiting a se...

By far the best thread on AG! 
Tekton Double Impacts
+2 for Aric Audio! His gear is first rate, and his client service is equally great. I have the original Motherlode preamp and it continues to impress me and all those who see and hear it.

@david_ten, apologies, as I cannot edit the post due to elapsed time. I will state to the forum that my, "middle finger" reference in my earlier post was my own opinion and that of no other's.

ggeers222, Obviously yours truly is in that boat and also prepping to sell my DI SE's. I was all but certain that I was going to move up in the Tekton line, but this de-valuing decision by Eric has given me pause. David, I am not certain that I ag...

And by the way, has anyone reading spent time on the Tekton website as of late and seen the discounted prices?!?! I question the decision on several levels.

Good evening fellow Tekton fans! A note to alert anyone in Southern California that I am going to soon be putting my much beloved Tekton Double Impact SE's in high gloss black on the market. As anyone who has had a pair delivered, they do not trav... 
Duelund DCA16GA
Alex, I did and was picking up a bit of hum. So I unsoldered them and wrapped them in the copper and the hum is gone, but not any of the dynamics, which I feared would happen. Just the interconnects, not the speaker cables, mind you.It was a fun p... 
Duelund DCA16GA
And for what it's worth: Some months ago, I consulted privately with grannyring when I decided to try my (soldering)hand at making my own speaker cables and RCA interconnects. After purchasing tens of meters of Dueland 12g, 16g, and 20g, as well a...

Between 3/4 and 7/8.

Xenophon-Good call on The Motherlode(said with some bias)...you will love it! Aric is great to work with, and his gear is first rate!
