I have a pair of Tekton Double Impact loudspeakers that I like very much. They are around 98dB of sensitivity and the Parasound Halo Integrated that I use has too much gain for them. Although it does have plenty of punch. I listen to everything from chamber/orchestral to EDM and everything in between.
I am considering either a Kara/Aegir (single) combo or a Ragnarok 2.
Does anyone have any experiences with these combinations?
if the speakers are ported, wait for Aegir 2 with HALO mixed-mode feedback and use it with Jotunheim 2 in low-gain mode for more usable volume control range.
This is not right at all, at least for stocks, I don't have experience with other assets. Once you realize a capital gain on sale of an equity you owe tax for it in that fiscal year. The wash sale rule which someone else mentioned is actually intended to CAPTURE a tax situation rather than avoid it. Essentially, the rule is that if you sell an equity AT A LOSS (thus triggering a capital loss) and then rebuy the same security within 30 days, the net is that you cannot declare the loss on the sale. I know of no rule where selling equity A and then buying equity B results in no taxable situation on the sale of equity A in the US tax code except in the above mentioned wash rule, and that is not beneficial to the taxpayer.
As a US investor it works exactly as you describe for Canada so there is no reason to look longingly at the US tax code, at least in this instance.
there is Section 1031 like-kind exchange for real property (real estate) but there are limitations on that as well.
US Gov't is on track to spend 7 Trillion (7 million-million dollars) but take in "only" 5 Trillion... 7 Trillion spending buys a lot of political favors.
This is the best part of having tubes nobody wants.
I am, however, holding on to a pair of Philips ECG 5814's to send to @jonathan c for Christmas next year. Just don't tell him as the anticipation may get the best of him.

My current configuration is a pair of Aegirs in mono block feeding 4 ohm Marten Design Dukes. The Skoll has more then enough gain for my Bent Audio passive preamp (John Chapman's Bent Audio using S&B TX-102 transformers). The digital front is an old Levinson 360s, and the table is the original VPI Aries. It's pure bliss at any volume. I cant wait for the tube phono pre...
Excellent. I have a penchant for dark, aged rums but tonight it is Japanese whisky. A friend is heading or Japan soon so I am trying to decide on what she should bring back. Hibiki or Suntori?

interesting set up. I bought from J. Chapmen 4 S&B units, two for a DIY passive, plus two as step-up for MC. all idle now. Also I looked seriously at the Aries. Have the #36 ready for recycling, #38 replaced with Freya+...had their first tray loading unit..#39?..frought with control issues, ended up paying more for a B-stock #31
This made me go back and find this classic post by Jason about his time at Sumo, and all the things he was up to before Schiit. It's a great read, as usual.
