I don’t see how it would be possible in the U.S. for Tekton to win a libel suit over a review. That said the owner had a pretty intense cult of Audiogon folks who, for years, lavished hyperbolic praise on his designs. Now Stereophile has just reviewed a $30,000 Tekton and found it ‘class B’...

Hi Tim, Doing well, thanks. Driving my Obs 2 with Bryston 135 integrated to good effect imho. I can’t shake my love for the Obs 2 I guess… Hope you are well.

They have gone up in price a great deal afaikt. The Obs now seem to be around 17 grand US dollars. They used to be priced more in line with Vandersteen ll’s…

I use Proac Tablette 10 in almost the exact same space with a small valve integrated. I really like the openness of the Proac sound and enjoy the system.

Not at all. Listening to a VTL amp with VTL preamp and then with Audio Research preamp of similar price brought a vastly different sound stage presentation. Win for the Audio Research..

I too have an Alan Eaton 45 based amp, although, I have the stereo version. In my small bedroom system I’m able to use it to drive Proac Tablette 10’s quite nicely- to my ears anyway. Alan himself has said that the vintage 1960’s output transformers contribute to its robust presentation vs. some...

Sorry to hear this news. It seemed he was the go to guy for Naxos in the 90’s.

I don’t own any Naim speakers, but kick myself sometimes for having not gone with them in the mid-90’s. One of the most engaging demos I ever had was with SBL’s on the end of some very modest Naim electronics, think 90’s 3 series stuff. This was at Accent on Music in Mt. Kisco, New York. David...

Ordered and paid for Phantom cables based on a direct email from them during their Easter sale. Needless to say I’ve not received the cables or a refund that I requested. Shady stuff.

I’ve heard nothing from witchhat. Never received the cables. Never received a refund. Paid by credit card and now I’m forced to go through the fraud department to recoup my funds. This is unfortunate. I like to support small businesses, however, this has been a disappointing experience and a...

I still have not received my refund. Purchased on April 10, 2023. I used my visa. Called them today…

I had read they were back in stock and ordered a set more than a month ago and then heard nothing. I purchased the n2 not long before this and received them. I asked for a refund for the Phantoms as I had heard no response to two queries regarding delivery time. I was told that my refund request...

Maybe the little Denon-41?
