| Stereophile review of the $30,000 tekton speakers I agree 100% when Stereophile rates products I already own as "Class A." My Schiit Freya and Pass XA-25 are in there. Both cost far less than the competition (especially the Freya) so at least in the case of these 2 items I can feel slightly super... | |

I like an efficient speaker with an amp that's digging i... | |

| Cary Audio SLP-5 Preamp Tube Replacement. I've been using various 6SN7s (GTBs in my case) and found that NOS GEs sound best for my tastes, and last a really long time. | |
| Volti does it again! In recent years I've brought in a few very well regarded speakers that I had high hopes for but when compared to what I was replacing they didn't make the cut. Some sold off, some returned. Adjusting Volti's policy would possibly result in far mor... | |
