| Stereophile review of the $30,000 tekton speakers I had Double Impacts before moving up to the Encores, which I’ve had now for 3 years. They are outstanding. I have also heard Moabs and Ulfs, which are impressive for sure, but I have to say I prefer the Encores. And unlike many other commenters, ... | |
| Deoxit Gold...Not Just For Tubes? Thanks for the feedback! I will start applying and see where it takes me. | |
| How To Keep Cat Off Stereo Equipment? Thanks for the input. I will try some sort of scatmat thing, see if she gets the message that way. The stereo system is in our living room, so no way to keep her out. When she originally arrived on our doorstep last year she was underfed and likel... | |
| Herbie’s Spike Decoupling Gliders: my…experience @nyev I hope they work out well for you! | |
| Herbie’s Spike Decoupling Gliders: my…experience @nyev just that the giant threaded gliders are intended for speakers, and the tenderfeet are designed for components. I imagine they use a similar technology. The tenderfeet are easy to simply pop underneath components, no need to remove original ... | |
| Herbie’s Spike Decoupling Gliders: my…experience @nyev After the success I had with the gliders I decided to try out the Tenderfeet. They had a flash sale, and I figured what they hey, knowing that I could return them if I didn't notice a difference. So I put them under my preamp, DAC and amps. ... | |
| Herbie’s Spike Decoupling Gliders: my…experience I found the Herbies giant threaded gliders to be just the ticket for me. I previously bought, tried and returned Gaia I’s and Townshend Podiums, which sucked away too much bass and gave the sound a harsher feel overall. Removing them after having ... | |
| Great classical pianists Pascal Roge is great as well. His performances of Debussy, Poulenc and Ravel are tops in my book. | |
| Linlai E 6sn7 tubes Thanks, Postimage worked great! Here are the Linlais in my Don Sachs pre... | |
| Linlai E 6sn7 tubes For what it’s worth, in my Don Sachs preamp I have found the ultimate combo to be a pair of the Linlai e-6SN7s on the left (main input) and a pair of the Linlai Hifi 6SN7s on the right (buffer). The full quad of e-6SN7s was great, but slightly clo... | |
| Freya + ( Plus ) Capacity Mods Honestly if the only mod you do is swap in the Vcap ODAMS, you will have significantly upgraded the unit. They really are outstanding. I have modded them into my preamp and my speaker crossovers... However it sounds like a bit challenging to remov... | |
| Does Anyone Buy Schiit for the Sake of Schiit? My Schiit Aegir has won the day in multiple battles against seemingly sure victors, including Pass XA30.8, Van Alstine M225s… I learned there’s a reason the Aegir is on the Stereophile Class A recommendation list, and it’s not for “savin ya a doll... | |
| Linlai E 6sn7 tubes I purchased some of the Linlai E-6SN7s from Mable Audio last year. They arrived really quickly and in good shape. http://www.mableaudio.com/en/productview.asp?sid=10229 | |
