| Tekton Double Impacts I also see a LM508ia (euro 220v version) that comes with a 1000 watt transformer. Is the transformer/ 220V version an issue or should I just pull the trigger on this one to pair with the DI's? I'm guessing this is a large improvement over a LM218ia | |
| Tekton Double Impacts @ Mac48025/Charles - I wanted to provide an update on moving from ss and class D amped Gallo Ref 3.1's to the Tekton DI and tubes. Only the speakers and an old Parasound remain. Is it just me or have these DI's caused many used speakers to come ... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts @grannyringc Come to think of it, I am using blue jeans IC as well! It's been 8 years since the purchase, but you jogged my memory. Assembled the speaker cable myself. If your right, some new western electric 10 gauge might help. I'm not one fo... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts @grannyring These are the same Gallos. I guess the class d amp, while smoother than my Parasound HCA1200ii in the midrange and definitly stronger in the bass, has some sort of irritation associated with it. I wouldn't be the first to complain. Th... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts @Mac48025 Good reminder. The narrowband RF transformer explained in the TAS review of the MZ2 makes sense for power bandwidth and high turns. As an RF EE, technical explanations are interesting. I take it no -s configuration needed for the tube ... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts Interesting. The gallos are in no way bad, just missing a bit of midrange sweetness, bass response is near 20hz on the Dirac results and tight as hell. Maybe a tube pre will go far enough to fix the ss/digital edge. Thanks twoch | |
| Tekton Double Impacts Integrated tube amp suggestions?I've really enjoyed reading all the insight from tube audio folks. So much so, I've placed all my SS gear up for sale, hoping to remake a system with the DI mains and a tube integrated. I am going to miss my anthony... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts Looks like you can getter done through HQplayer via down sampling to 24/192 pcm (dirac filters up to 24/192)http://www.signalyst.com/consumer.html but I digress, now back to the double impacts? | |
| Tekton Double Impacts I have a non dsd dac and have not tried dsd. There can be streaming issues with Dirac due to the convolution time delays. I have to rip to mkv to avoid pops and set a large buffer in jriver. Dirac may be a 90% soln as I still have to disable it fo... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts Great to hear audio enthusiasts talking about value audio systems and room correction. Here's was what my road to value looked like.When my receiver performing preamp duties for my 2 channel died, I switched to a used W4S dac-2 (doubling as pre-am... | |
| Why the obsession with the lowest octave I completely agree with Vlad. I hooked up the SA last night for the first time. Another brick in the wall never sounded better. The bass was tight, clean and detailed, providing a concert atmosphere. The bass could even be felt at lower listening ... |
