| ROI. Where is money better spent? First step in good room treatment is setting up your system within the room (how far your speakers are from your wall, how far apart they are from each other, and how far they are from you). This all depends on the room dimensions. After placement... | |
| Looking for speaker ideas. For a Zu competitor, check out Tekton Design. Both companies hand build their speakers in Utah, and while Zu have some models that look classier, Tekton is no fluff, all performance at an affordable cost. I have the Tekton Lore with upgraded capac... | |
| Looking for a Speaker Recommnedation @fdemello - I'm getting to this one a little late, but I do second the recommendation @bache gave. I never heard of Tekton Design until six months ago, and after a lot of research, I purchased the Tekton Lore and I seriously cannot be happier. Giv... | |
| Upgrade from DV 17D3, looking for recommendations! Just to give a brief update, tonight I just did an A/B test with the 17d3 and my previous cartridge, an Ortofon 2M Black, which was very easy considering I have two arm wands for the VPI Classic. The bass out of the 2M Black was intense, while the... | |
| Recommendations for rolling tubes on Luxman SQ-N10? @nordicnorm - thank you for the response on the Shuguangs. It'll be something to consider down the road when some of my other 12AX7s are done with. For now, I have a handful of decent ones to play with, but thanks for helping me understand em!@sma... | |
| Upgrade from DV 17D3, looking for recommendations! Yeah, I do believe that a good sub can make a huge difference if set well. Ultimately, if calibrated well, it should minimize crossover distortion and alleviate strain on the floorstanding speakers, allowing them to better deliver the remaining fr... | |
| Upgrade from DV 17D3, looking for recommendations! And I'm disappointed that Tekton hasn't gotten more praise, but Eric is a builder at heart, not a marketer. Maybe I should help him with that! Lots of respect for Tekton here in the forums if you look around. | |
| Upgrade from DV 17D3, looking for recommendations! I'm using the Tekton Lore, which is their most popular model: http://www.tektondesign.com/lore.htmlEric Alexander is the owner of Tekton and he has worked at a number of speaker companies and then Cardas before starting Tekton. I was turned to the... | |
| Recommendations for rolling tubes on Luxman SQ-N10? Nordicnorm - Thanks for sharing your thoughts! | |
| Upgrade from DV 17D3, looking for recommendations! tablejockey and analogluvr - after reading all of those threads, I was fully convinced that the cart is a worthy investment and a step in the right direction, so I did some research last night on the best places to buy and pulled the plug. Thank y... | |
| Recommendations for rolling tubes on Luxman SQ-N10? Tell me about it! In the last three years that I've had tube equipment, I must have 15 spare tubes lying around. Have you ever tried the regular Shuguang 12AX7's in comparison to the Custom 12AX7 LS? I'm curious as to what you get for the $50 diff... | |
| Upgrade from DV 17D3, looking for recommendations! analogluvr & tablejockey, thanks to you both for the suggestions! I'll definitely look into the ART 9 and ART 7. I haven't heard about those, and given the specs of the 9, it looks like it'll fit really nicely with the VPI and gain that I have... | |
| Upgrade from DV 17D3, looking for recommendations! Hi Raul, thank you for the suggestion on the subs, but I'm really not a fan of them. I used to have them in the past quite a bit, but honestly I've never liked the crossover between those and any towers I've ever owned them with. I am not a bass-h... | |
| Recommendations for rolling tubes on Luxman SQ-N10? Thanks for the advice Nordicnorm. I did get good results with swapping the 12AX7 and tried a NOS Tele and Amperex and liked the Psvane the best. How did rolling the 82s shape the sound for you? | |
| DH Labs Silversonic What made you sell the Tannoys? Tekton Design is my first move into a full-range high efficiency speaker, and I do have to say they are amazing, especially for the price.One of my friends have the 1Ci's them and they're nice as well. In terms of r... |
