| Dac+Amp recommendation for streaming-only system Hi Kosmonabuttl, First of all trust your own ears and judgement. If you find your Zu speakers wonderful then stick with them. Every single brand of an audio product will have its advocates and detractors, there are no exceptions to this. Whoopycat... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts Hi Jcarcopo, I am also an advocate of the "keep it simple " philosophical approach when it comes to components and the audio signal pathway. So I admit the contradiction in preferring the inclusion of a high quality tube preamplifier. Despite add... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts Sbayne,I know what you mean by supporting local musicians. Each time I attend a performance I'd like to believe that the money spent contributes to their continued survival. I have such enormous admiration for their talent and mastery of their r... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts Sbayne,I have no doubt that your current system brings you much joy. I however must confess that I really adored your former Shindo based system and would have loved to have heard it. Do you feel your current system surpasses the Shindo presentati... | |

| Tekton Double Impacts Hi Kenny, Given your vast listening experiences and ownership of many terrific amplifiers past and present I’m looking forward to reading your opinion on the Lyngdorf 2170. Curious to see how it compares and contrasts with the Aric 2A3 SET, LTA ZO... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts Reading teajay’s critique of McIntosh the last impression that I would perceive is that he’s a "hater". He was genuinely describing his listening experience with this brand. Interestingly I share very similar impressions having heard all McIntosh ... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts Hi Bill (Grannyring),What's your impression of the Double Impacts driven by the Rogue ST 100 in grey9hound's systemm? Did you bring your own familiar recordings?Charles | |
| Member's recommendations for tube amplification David, You’re in a good situation, speakers that have made you happy and a top notch Pass Labs XA 30.8 as your amplifier reference point. Your approach is very rational, taking time to learn more about the "many" fine choices available to you. I ... | |
| Member's recommendations for tube amplification Hi Larryi,As usual good and well written perspective. I honestly believe that clio09 did very effectively point out the potential variables and compromise inherently present in these situations. He clearly recognizes and described his positive e... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts Hi lak, That’s such a tough question to answer. Nothing short of a listening session will settle this. So much of course depends on what type of sound you want, simple to say but so true. The reality is some listeners could hear both speakers and ... | |
| Member's recommendations for tube amplification Bill,I believe that I'm as opened minded as you or anyone else. At the end of the day we all have our unique listening preferences and know what we like. I have in fact encouraged others on this forum to seriously consider the Lyngdorf 2170 for ... | |
| Member's recommendations for tube amplification Hi Bill, I believe that you are misinterpreting my response. I included clio09’s " hibernation" reply to express that his comments are insightful and that he "shouldn’t " consider returning to a state of hibernation i.e.. Forum inactivity. Sorry f... | |
| Member's recommendations for tube amplification "I should have stayed in hibernation "Well clio09, as far as I am concerned you made a very good point. You correctly acknowledged the variables involved that will make each situation have possibly different outcomes. I own speakers that are 94 dB... |
