| Tekton Double Impacts Charles I have a layer of tubes in the Preamp I have on order. I am certainly going to keep an open mind. | |
| Tekton Double Impacts I totally agree with Charles. People LOVE the coloration added by tubes. And that is great. I personally don't. I want my signal path to be as close to the proverbial "wire with gain" as possible. It it wasn't "warm" when it was recorded. I don't... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts @craigl59 Let me join your heresy club. I too utilize JRiver and DBPoweramp in a similar manner and have a similar signal path. The fact that there is nothing added to the recordings is what I enjoy. If there is "warmth" on the recording, I want i... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts Schitt does have separate DACs. I just ordered their Phono Pre-Amp. | |
| Need advice about upgrading speakers ( it might be the last one i own). Tekton Double Impacts recently replaced my long held and much loved B&W 804s. They are high performers for their cost. https://forum.audiogon.com/discussions/tekton-double-impacts?page=26 | |
| CD players = dead? The best sounding results for me is dB Poweramp to FLAC. Then served through JRiver on my HTPC to an external DAC. It sounds better than anything online. It also sounds better than the original CD served from my OPPO 103. Where can you download lo... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts @corelli cyclist here too. 25 today on the off-road bike. Be safe out there! | |
| Tekton Double Impacts I agree that this is an Awesome thread. Thanks for all the help and advice directed toward me as the noob at this level. My thought process is... first, keep an open mind and then evaluate all information as if the suggestion is the correct answer... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts @audioman58 I have dual opposed 15" subs in a sealed enclosure. I've experimented with many configurations in my DIY days and the dual opposed was the best I could do for both LFE and clean-tight base for music. I've lowered the crossover frequen... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts Yes he did mofojo but thanks for confirming your experience. I believe the term he used was "adventure". I asked if I should just do some continuous music to get some hours on it and said "No! You will want to hear every hour of the process." The ... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts Thanks Kenny. What I have on order already is a tube pre-amp and what I believe is an exceptional SS amp from Odyssey. Terry gives me the impression he believes anyone who listens to an SET amp will never consider a SS again. And I am willing to t... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts @teajay thanks of the recommendations. Do you feel comfortable that 11-12 watts will be enough in a LR Mains HT application? And no, I don't listen to 110dB as a norm. But I would like to have a bit of head-room to facilitate the more dynamic musi... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts @teajay "I wish the individuals who are experienced with high power SS amplifiers on the DI's could spend some time with a SET amplifier, they might find it very hard to go back to their SS gear."Question TJ... Take a $4K budget. Using the DIs... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts @milpai I am currently powering my DIs with a Denon 4520 receiver but I just ordered an Odyssey Kismet Reference power amp and their Candela Tube Preamp as an upgrade. My music tastes depart a bit from the majority in this thread. A one watt SET a... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts Is this graphic enough for the sizes? And as far as I remember every speaker has dimensional information listed. http://www.tektondesign.com/uploads/9/8/4/7/98478018/speakersizes_30_orig.jpg |
