| Tekton Double Impacts David,I’m game for the culinary wager but what exactly are the stipulations/criteria? I’d expect jcarcopo to experiment with amps/ audio products he already has in his possession (various tubes, cables etc.). My point is that I doubt he’d do any "... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts fetguy, Well you obviously know him better than I do but he's been "faithful" with his Art Audio Diavolo. I can vouch for that. I think he'll be hard pressed to beat the Encores given his listening impressions. Charles | |

| Zu Druid & Definition Roundup Dentdog, Do the BPT and Equitech units power different components of your system separately or are they actually in line with one another (two balanced AC power units)? I am a strong advocate of balanced AC power for audio components. Charles | |
| Tekton Double Impacts Hi jcarcopo,Congratulations on acquiring your new speakers. It is indeed a welcome discovery to realize that they sound fabulous straight out of the shipping boxes. I get the sense that these speakers have already exceeded what I presume were high... | |
| SW1X Audio Design DAC II Absolute Top Tier Ref NOS DAC Hi Wig,I Reread your earlier post and realized that you were referring to directly heated "diode" (not triode) rectifier tube. Nonetheless I believe that you'll be very happy with the upgrade choices.Charles | |
| SW1X Audio Design DAC II Absolute Top Tier Ref NOS DAC Wig,The Audio Note capacitors have a reputation for excellent sound quality. Directly heated triode (DHT) when properly utilized can yield fabulous sound quality. Charles | |
