Any insight on Tekton Double impact BE, Focus Se, Salk SS 8, or Golden Ear TRef?
@Axememan & dep14Could not agree more. FYI here are 3 kind of obscure artist that are in the Folk/Gothic metal vein, and do not do the suck*** growling thing. Leah ElysionAnnette Olson (Solo Album)

@ Axeman  if you are talking about Beauty and the Beast Styling in Leaves Eyes, yes.  Love Liv Kristine's voice . I could do without Alexander Krull's growling. But in the context of the story and theme of the music they do, I am not sure it would... 
Any insight on Tekton Double impact BE, Focus Se, Salk SS 8, or Golden Ear TRef?
@ Firstnot & rsure The term I use is opera metal, but in truth that is a misnomer. The bands listed are categorized in Folk - Melodic- Gothic metal. I call it Opera metal since the female leads are usually Sopranos, many with classically train... 
What are the best speakers you have ever owned and why?
Thiel 3.6. Dynamic and Punchy. With tight and deep bass that did not sound anemic when came to Techno, Organ, and Metal music. Plus they were not a whole lot of money compared to other notable brands.  
Curious .. What is the compared price of your tt vs spkrs
I am of the belief that the source component is as important a consideration as the speakers. Speakers being number one. So my TT comes in as close second at 95% of the cost of my speakers and cables. 
What is Technics thinking?
Since I do not want to steal anyone’s thunder I will let someone like BillAllen10 write a more detailed/competent review. I have owned my Technics 1200 GAE for about two and half weeks now and am very happy with it.I agree for my 4K I would liked ... 
Ultimate Cables no more?
Been Having the same issue. I have a dispute pending with them on Pay-Pal. The fact that they do not post a telephone number on their website is highly suspicious. Had to hunt for it. Contact info is as follows:Ultimate CablesP.O. Box 24087Montrea... 
Review: Thorens TD 295 MK 4 Turntable
The above reviews although being, for the most part,spot on, are too ready to bash to TD 295. The table has its shortcomings, but not because its not a Rega. But because Thorens is not understanding that it is an Audiophile that will spend $1100.0... 
Biamping, bass and amplifier type.
Valid points are made here, I do not disagree with them. However I am coming from a place of personal experience in a real world system that I owned. The difference in the gain was not audible to me. Never thought to pay any attention to it though... 
Biamping, bass and amplifier type.
Yes it would, the drawback is cost. If you go with an tube amp ss combo you have to divide the amount of money you have between them. Most folks I think choose one or the other and so they can put more money into one higher quality amplifier. As f... 
In need of an amplifier...

6H30 tubes ringing in BAT VK-300SE
Thanks JFresh hadn't plan on rolling tubes but did consider investing in tube dampers. However was hesitant since I did feel it would be a waist of money. My dealer also warned me that this is a quirk of BAT Pres it is nice to hear that this is no... 
6H30 tubes ringing in BAT VK-300SE
This dovetails on the information that Rello gave you.I do not believe rolling your tubes will be a solution for you. My VK 32SE preamp also pings/clicks, only when the volume is at 0 and turned it up from there. I do not have the right words to d... 
Are There Any Good, High Power Solid State Amps?
I think there are many offerings, a lot of the solid state designs will have tube like character. There of course the old standbys Mark Levison, Pass Labs and higher end Krells. The KAV series just do not sound like a Krell to me. Another Brand I ...
