| Tekton Double Impacts Thanks guys. I've got a NOS 6SU7GTY in the 6SL7 spot and Psvane 805 T/2's which made a nice improvement. Listening to The Bad Plus has me thinking of Gaia isolation footers and pucks to clear up that stand up bass and kick drum even more. Love tho... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts My 2 channel upgrades are nearly complete. This thread proved to be a valuable tool in selecting amps and convinced me to buy speakers without an audition. Thanks to all for your contributions.The DI's with upgrades have 60 hrs of run time and are... | |
| Devore O/96 vs Volti Rivals I've got the LM508IA and it sounds fabulous with the Tekton DI speakers. Audio memories are fleeting but what I heard from O/96 speakers didn't seem so much better. My DI set up allbeit with room correction is good enough that upgrades are no long... | |
| Best Rock Drummers When it comes to metal, I prefer thrash. Sure, Dave Lombardo of Slayer is one of the best, but give Tom Hunting from Exodus try. | |
| Tekton DIs or Legacy Focus SEs? I've got the DI's and agree with the Charles, Tom and Bill. The Raven Blackhawk tube integrated provided plenty of sparkle, vocals were amazingly textured, palpable. The bass hasn't fully broken in so hard to say. I can imagine that an AMT provide... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts When I saw my DI order go out lightning fast, I knew there was a mix up. Called and Eric picked up. Problem solved. We'll see how how the grills go. Bill - awesome job, I can almost smell the solder. | |
| Tekton Double Impacts Well what do know, I stand corrected. Room corrected that is. This time it's the Double Impacts and a Raven Blackhawk integrated with a Live Dirac PC. Still sounds much better corrected. The comparision will be much more meaningful with the bass t... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts @greg22lz Thanks for the desricption of the Cerious speaker cables and DI's. I'm thinking TEO game changers for the IC's. I'd love to hear your setup next time I pass through the area.@aniwolfe Totally in your camp on the needing electric and st... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts evolvist - 30-100Hz is going to be the tough nut. The rest looks straight forward although I should pick up that "Get Better Sound" book just to be safe. From the reading I've done, conventional air velocity traps aren't nearly as effective as di... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts Mac, So true about having a room all to yourself. I can already imagine my wife's response to the room treatments. Once the DI's arrive and treatments are placed, I'll check in with the results. | |
| One receiver for music also I have Live Dirac on PC with music streamed through Roon and Tidal, and music and movies with full DTS-MA (2 ch) played through Jriver. No paying crazy money for black boxed room correction (think pre-pros and receivers) with sub par dacs, audio ... | |
| Mini dsp what's the deal I gave up on expensive music servers and room correction in boxes bundled with compromised audio sections aka pre-pros and receivers. Why not Live Dirac on computer? It's the cheapest path towards quality corrected digital sound without extra A/D... | |
| What order? I've had really good luck with Dirac. Incredible improvements in focus, imaging and tightening up the bass. All this for $500 with mic.My next project is buying a few aborber traps, panels for first reflection and some diffusers. My guess is that ... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts @teajay @grannyring - Preparing for the purchase of some room treatments has me studying up on room acoustics. This youtube video addressed the role electronics, speakers and acoustics play in the sound we perceive. I found it informative. Yes, s... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts Makes sense Corelli. Maybe an unconventional diagonal listening axis where the speakers are spread apart in front of a room corner. The possibilities are endless, oh joy. Simulation software could prove advantageous here. Thanks. |
