Golds is always good for honoring anything they sell. That is not meant to be a plug, that is just reality.

Albert: Where they nanostreams? It seems the tunze quality moniker has went down a little since the nanostreams were released. I hope this isnt going to apply to there whole line of products right away.

Default tunze
my opinion and experience - I have 5 tunze streams (6060/6080/6100/ 6100/6100) and all have been going strong for 2-5 years.

Nope, regular streams.

Even so I will echo what Chin said: I have 4 tunze streams (6060/6000/ 6100/6100) and all have been going strong for 2-4 years. 2 of the 4 were purchased used, so who knows how long they were really used.

I tried the Vortech, and I didn't like it either. Every time I had it set perfectly (which took way too long BTW) it would be all loud and rattling the next day. I finally got fed up with it.

Luckily the guy at our LFS is really good and he let me exhange it for a Tunze 6100. Since then I have added another 6100 and the 7095 controller and I couldn't be happier with them.

The flow from the Vortech was pretty awesome when it was working though.

Overall, I'm glad I made the switch to Tunze and when I upgrade I'll add more.
