sibilance in system
Not sure if this might be indirectly helpful but I own a pair of the Omega Super 7 mk2 noted above and they have no sibilance issues driven by a 6L6 SE amp.  Wonder if a call to Louis might be helpful on how the Omega Supre 6 Alnicos compare in re...

Pass on the Pass.  
Tekton Double Impacts
@tjraubacher  The DI's perform very well at lower volumes.  A number of owners used SET amps and were very happy.  I prefer higher powered SS but that is personal preference.  The volume level will not impact detail, imaging or sound stage.  Wha... 
Stereophile review of the $30,000 tekton speakers
I think audioaudition needs to read more carefully before he speaks. I said value is relative i.e, it’s different for EVERYBODY. I have no problem with people who value 250K speakers. Please forgive my post. I know I am not worthy of members like ... 
Stereophile review of the $30,000 tekton speakers
That's right--never heard a good speaker.  My reference is live music--not so sure I need to a good audio show and "work my way up to $250-500k speakers". Love it when terms like "blow away" are used.  Totally worthless and unqualified. Value is... 
Tekton Double Impacts
@2psyop  Tekton haters, as a last resort, point out how ugly they are.  I love the fact I didn't blow thousands on a wood veneer (and I am a woodworker that loves the fine woodworking).  I listen in a darkened room.  Would never see see that rain... 
How often, and how, do you clean your stylus?
Before every listening session of 1-3 LP's.  
Record player sounds out of tune and "wavy"
The most likely cause is an old stretched belt.  Cheap fix--if you can fined a replacement of the correct size.  
Stereophile review of the $30,000 tekton speakers
@mbmi  Exactly.  I just posted the same thought in another thread (although went with $3-10k).  The Double Impacts are the speaker that put Tekton on the map.  I have said this before--the value on the end product is HUGE and maybe unsurpassed in... 
Tekton Double Impacts
Still have my DI’s and love them more than ever. No desire to "upgrade". I would say the true value point of Tekton is between $3-10k. Voiced beautifully. Seamless integration of so many drivers. Great imaging. Dynamic.  Easy to drive. Love the fa... 
supra sword excalibur speaker cable
As the OP stated, he is looking at a used pair of cables, so the figures you noted are a bit misleading. I have used Supra cables for years and think they are neutral high value cables.  I have no idea how the Swords compare.  In the end, you rea... 
Marantz SA10 sacd player
I am quite sure you could pick up a replacement traverse assembly (transport) via Encompass (if that is the problem).  You just need to locate a competent technician to help out.  Please let us know how this turns out and don't give up on that gre... 
how to fix a CD player
Once had an old Rotel CD player that would quit tracking.  It had a Phillips swing arm transport with a pivot bearing that went dry.  One drop of transmission fluid fixed it.  Make sure the grease you pick is not too heavy and plastic compatible.   
Omega Speakers Turnaround Time
@toudou   If you are thinking of purchasing a pair I can tell you that Louis is is fully trustworthy but he is slow.  Expect a wait.  My pair took a couple of months longer than quoted--but they were worth the wait.  He did a beautiful job on a cu... 
The receiver was my intro to HiFi! What say you?
The journey for me began with a modest but blue is beautiful Pioneer SX-636 driving a pair of Electrovoice Interface B's.  Could have done worse as a 17 year old kid.
