What used speakers raraely come up for sale
Pair of Silverline Bolero speakers just listed.   This is a great speaker folks. So musical and unfussy. Great with tubes or SS.   Rather easy to drive and wonderful music makers.   I have only seen two sets in the past several years.   
To bridge or not to bridge ?
Interesting.  What sonically improves with this set up? Very curious.  What improvements do you tend to hear with this wiring arrangement in place?  
New Tweak --- Its Fantastic
Another update on using TC inside your speakers. Paste the driver tab connectors and internal speaker wire where they are soldered or connected with push-ons on the back of the drivers. Paste the wire leads going from the voice coil to the tabs. P... 
Getting into Tube Equipment
@trelja I was thinking about building one of Latino’s amps.  Do you own one and have you compared it to an updated/modified ST70? I was also thinking of just buying an ST70 and updating it using modern day parts in key areas while keeping the outp... 
Tekton Double Impacts
I will certainly keep that in mind and enjoy!  
Running DCS Vivladi DIRECT?
Also like Nancy Harms.  I am really getting into Americana music since  moving to the Nashville area. Part of this includes folk.  Love for you to list some folk artists I should listen to.

@folkfreak Thank you so much for such a well written and understandable post on your listening experience. The Ref40 is one heck of a preamp for sure. My past experience with this sort of comparison yielded the exact same results although I never ... 
Tekton Double Impacts
Very happy for you @grey9hound I can tell by your excitement and manner that your system sounds very special and now at the point where it is fine tuned and well paired.  It does take effort and time.  Nice!  
Former Tekton owners: What have you moved on to?
Great speakers indeed! Enjoy.... 
Has anyone tried these stunning new CPT power cord?
@lak Love your attitude.  I trust all will be make whole in time.  
ROON - EQ any good?
I use Roon and the EQ option in its DSP. Roon sounds terrific with Tidal and is an absolute joy to use. The EQ works great with no real ill effects as long as you are not heavy handed with its use.  I have used it tame  2-4K just slightly on one s... 
Who has Luv for the Lyngdorf 2170 and is thinking about the 3400.
I did in a room 34x22 with 10 foot ceilings. Far more power than needed really. Ran them with absolute ease. Several others here will also chime in as they have the same combo. They are a wonderful team together.  
Does anyone leave their amp and preamp on all the time?
It would figure strongly! My TRL preamp did not have this feature and the on/off cycling was indeed robbing the tube of more life than just leaving it on. Like all things audio....it always depends and few things are just black and white. 
Does anyone leave their amp and preamp on all the time?
Tube Research Labs builder and founder also told me it was easier on the tubes to stay on.  The way he used the 6sn7 tube in the preamp sure gave it long life and I did leave it on.
