GIK acoustic panels
Thanks @millercarbon.I did consider making my own but GIK is able to make their traps with 'range limiters' so they will absorb a bit more bass and leave the high frequencies alone which intrigued me.It's a lot more expensive unfortunately than di... 
Tekton Design's new THE PERFECT SET equals "goosebumps time"
Like "Dec Fest" put on by Decware every autumn.They provide food and drink for the three day weekend and there is a variety of components to audition.Great idea for small audio manufacturers! 
Tekton Design's new THE PERFECT SET equals "goosebumps time"
Hmm....if I was researching which new component to audition would I be better off taking advice from internet trolls or teajay?Probably teajay and others who are knowledgeable and are able to articulate the pros and cons of various products withou...

If you want to get the best of your transport, try this.
Y'all will laugh,but I did make some feet out of plastic butter containers packed tightly with sand.Yes they were very effective under tubed components:)From there I went with Bright Star sand platforms.Much more attractive.

I wonder if  some of us really prefer some noise and distortion for our systems to sound" just right "?Whenever I've replaced a component that turned out to have a blacker background and reduced noise floor it was always a welcome change.I don't n...

I don't get to show my system off very often.Most visitors are content with background music.One exception was the father of one of my son's school mates who also happened to make his living in his younger days as a rock musician.He noticed the eq... 
Overwhelmed and under experienced...
IMO any well made heavy gage power cable with tight fitting connectors and is flexible enough for your application will do the job.I used to have Venoms also and noticed no difference between them and the stock cords.Plus they're too stiff.Cabledy... 
Should I upgrade my system while losing my hearing?
M brother got hearing aids last year but takes them out when listening to his system.His aids enhance the frequencies surrounding the human voice which makes for a bright fatiguing experience when listening to music.He said walking through crackli...

@uberwaltz I know what you mean.I tried an off brand similar to rollerbearings and the component did actually slide right off of the footers.It was a cheap "knock off" product though.The rollerbearings must be a much better design I'm assuming sin... 
Power Tubes Quicksilver Mid Mino
I liked Gold Lion KT88s in my mid monos.They rolled off the highs just a bit but the mids and bass were excellent. 
Is it time to just quit?
That's fantastic Elizabeth!Enjoy:) 
Opinion on NAD C368 bridged with C268?
If the Rotel keeps shutting down it's protection circuitry may have good reason to do so.Check that your speaker cables (or other cables) aren't shorting it out.As far as Tekton speakers go,I too am a fan.They don't need a lot of power to really s...
