i agree with you on the assessment.  My friend bought nude foil for his Wilson Grand Slams speakers, it was just too much for his ears.  It was just too revealing for the Titanium tweeter.  I notice some of my equipments, the Nude Foil z series is... 
You know you are an Audiophile when:
Lifting or try moving a 100lbs mono block amps would not be a problem but lifting my wife sure seems heavy!

audio4pass... how about the new Caddock Mp or Mm series.  From what people tell me it’s better than the Vishay Nude Bulk Foil.  What’s your opinion?  
DIY "HiFi" cables - and why I don't trust BJC and the likes
millercarbon... i have to agree with your assessment. No matter how you dice it & slice it, No Way it can compete with manufactured cables. It’s just a waste of time and mostly waste of money! I have been an audiophile for 35+ years, never hav...

fyi... Yamaha or Pioneer claims that they are the inventors of BE.  They might be the first person to use vaporized BE on the tweeter and midrange but not pure BE (To me it’s not consider pure BE).  Only a few industries does pure BE that is Radia...

mozartfan.... i disagree with you on your assessment!  If you are talking about vapor BE then it’s not musical but pure clad BE it is in a different league.  I was always a soft dome guy until i own a matched pair of BE drivers, i was blown away h... 
Is there a Solid State amp that can satisfy a SET guy?
I had all the Aleph lines from pass labs.   Your Tetra 606 does drop down to 6ohms, if i were you the Aleph 3 will not have enough slams, the Aleph 5 is ok but i recommend the Aleph 4 or 1.2.  Your Tetra 3 way drivers, 12’ woofer, class A 30 watts...

Johnny.... the unit comes with blue Alps pot, use the CRAIG attached the straw to the nasal, spray gently on top of the pot ( make sure to have the unit facing upward)  turn the volume control back and forth so that the pot turns freely.   Use a c... 
Chinese fake cables How fake, how good?
isochronsim... nothing wrong with cables coming from HK.   Cardas, Audioquest, Vandunhul, kimber, siltech, xlo etc... all from HK.   
Chinese fake cables How fake, how good?
bill_k....they all came from the same ovens, That oven is from Hong Kong!    All manufactures that don’t make their own cables, are manufactured in HK.   To me it’s all about money and cheaper labor.  Period!  
Shootout of Nos 6sn7 tubes
shkong78... i disagree with you on the Tungsol Round Plate black glass.  Not an overhyped tubes,  ‘One of The Best ‘ if not ‘ The Best ‘ for single ended triode amps for vocal!  
Shootout of Nos 6sn7 tubes
shkong78..... when you get a chance, i strongly recommend the Telefunken 6sn7. With all the characteristics you described and your listening styles the Telefunken might be your cup of tea! here is my lists of 6sn7 in particular order:telefunken 6h...
