Tekton Double Impacts
@backsigns. The Alphalite 6A is exactly the same dimension as the Alpha 6a in the DI. Exactly the same in terms of fit. It is a 6.5 inch diameter driver per the spec sheet. I have not used it as I am using the Beta 6a. I think it would sound nice ... 
Most satisfying system change in 2017?
Roon, Roon DSP and Tidal. Great combo!

The Lyngdorf 2170 is the finest single piece of audio gear I have ever owned. It replaced over $16,000 worth of separates. Use it as intended with no additional dac or amp etc.....amazing piece.   
Former Tekton owners: What have you moved on to?
Yes I would love to see a thread on Audio Note kits and builds. I hope this does happen.  
high-efficiency loudspeakers
Audio Note speaker owners...ANE line.  Is it a must to have them in corners. Seems so, but I cannot accommodate this. Beautiful sounding speakers for sure.  
My first post
Welcome and yes this is the right place to learn and buy.

Great speakers and congrats! I have always loved ANE speakers.  Just beautiful sounding.

Thanks Frank. Great news.  Looking more affordable now. Good reason not to keep changing out cords etc.... No need to as this stuff is the great equalizer😉 of cables.

I was educating you on the comment you made.  I did not realize you knew big dollar B&W speakers use $10-$20 crossover caps based on your post above? Being serious here. Just trying to share facts for better understanding.

Even the expensive B&W 800 series use a $20 cap on the all important mids. The bottom of the line film cap from Mundorf. The standard MCap. This is the cost of a 50uf (large value) cap to mere consumers like you and I. A smaller value Mcap cos...

@david ten.   LOL! @213runnin. I don’t care to argue on Tekton and that was not my point. Yes, I have indeed worked on speakers costing up to $22,000. Many. Yes they do use MDF, yes they do use $10 caps and $ .25 sand cast resistors. Highly review... 
Full-sounding SS amps (besides Pass)
Pretty much most SS amps judging by this thread🙂

How often to reapply? Once only, every  6 months, annually? This will help us better understand cost. I would use it building power cords etc...Perhaps use in in my crossovers also. Only if I dont have to keep reapplying it.  
Former Tekton owners: What have you moved on to?
Truth is the crossover parts found in many Tekton speakers are the same quality level as most speakers costing up to $21,000 that I have modified. This is the truth of the matter. A sea of $10,000 - $25,000 speakers with $10 caps and $ .50 cent sa...
