Which Kharma?
Another speaker to consider if you don't need concert volumes in a large room, is the Verity Parsifal Encores. They mate very well with the Tenors. I auditioned a lot of speakers before I ended up with the Verity. They go quite deep for a small sp... 
Verity Parsifal Encore
Thanks, I feel myself very lucky to have these speakers.I know Verity's wouldn't like it, but I made different jumpers from a damaged coincidence total reference speaker cable and in my system it made a quite a audible difference. My mid bass and ... 
Is solid state on the brink of extinction?
I found a place in Edina Mn. That has the B&Ospeaker/amps on the floor for demo. I'll be inthat area in a couple weeks. It will be fun to have a listen. 
Has anybody heard the new Audio Aero P5.4 chip?
Golden Ears is correct. I just talked to Daryl. Thereis not suppose to be any sonic difference. 
cd player with xlr outputs
In my system XLR sounds much better(AA Capitole MKIIdirect into Tenor 75's). The designer said his preferencewith his CD Player is balanced. Just one case. 
Cables for Tenor/Kharma/Capitole MKI
I've been using Jena Symphony interconnects and Jena Valkyre speaker cables on my Tenor 75's for a year. I'm also using Elrod Sig 3's on the amps and Elrod Statement on the AA MKII cd player. This combo brings plenty of life to the music. I origin... 
New Tenor Hybrid
I am on the waiting list for the 150 stereo only becauseI don't have the funds for the 300 mono's. I currently have the OTL's and with my cabling and a new set of tubes (2 weeks ago) I believe I have one of the greatest sounding systems. The best?... 
Matching Pre-Amp for Audio Aero Capitole MKII ?
I have tried various pre amps with my MKII and alwaysgone back to direct. The biggest improvement was addinga Elrod 2 statement powercord. 
Jena Labs
I searched with many speaker cables for two years andhave stopped with the Jena's. They just sound rightin my system.  
ASL Hurricanes vs Tenors - which are better?
I had both amps in and out of my system for over a month using Verity Parsifal Encores for speakers. There wasn't any part of the musical presentation in which I preferred the hurricanes. I also had a quite a few customers come through the shop an... 
Best new/demo/used value for $7.5K range
I'll add my two cents. VERITY PARSIFAL ENCORES 
New Nordost Cable Valkyrja
I'm trying them in my system at this time. If you like other Nordost cables you will like the Valkyrja.They remind of the Vahalla's. With the Tenor amps I stillprefer the Jena Labs. I'm sure they'll work well in manysystems. 
Antique Sound Labs Hurricane 200 DT
I had both amps in my system for a month. Feelfree to call or email if you have some questions comparingthe two amps. 319-266-8325 
Lamm ML2 Vs Tenor 75
I second Txlef. I have gone through 8 ampsin the last couple years and stopped with theTenor 75's in combination with Verity Parsifals.I have a grin everytime I turn them on. Theseamps are used between 8 to 14hrs every day withno problems. 
OTL amplifiers
I currently have a pair of Tenors. My last ampswere Bat 150se's. Both amps are very good, butthere is a thing that the OTL does that makesyou smile every time you listen to them. I'm usingVerity Parsifal Encore speakers(4 ohm) and theTenors do jus...
