| Member's recommendations for tube amplification David,You’ve received some terrific suggestions and replies. In my humble opinion I don’t believe you’ll find one "best" amplifier choice. Some of the amplifiers mentioned I’ve had the pleasure of actually hearing. VAC Renaissance 300b push pull J... | |
| Member's recommendations for tube amplification Hello David, I find your sunlight analogy for the Double Impacts effective and accurate based on my recent extensive listening session with them. Mated to my amplifier(Coincident Frankenstein MK II) the combination was exceptionally open, transpar... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts Corelli is right and I base this on my Double Impact listening experiences. These speakers are resolving and relatively uncolored so there’s very little editorializing taking place. You will hear the intrinsic sonic character of the amplifier in u... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts Jadedavid, I have the earliest MK II version (2009) with the stainless steel chassis. Coincident switched to the 4/8 ohm speaker taps about 3 or 4 years ago. As for the first stage coupling capacitor I went with the Jupiter copper foil instead of ... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts Hi jadedavid, Does your Frankenstein MK II have 4 and 8 ohm speaker taps? If so which are you using? My Frankenstein MK II is an earlier model which had 8 and 16 ohm taps. As Mac wrote they were exceptionally good with his DIs using the amplifier ... | |

| Tekton Double Impacts Hi Tom (Mac48025),I'm happy for you, it sure seems as though the Aric KT 88 SEP amplifier is going to be an excellent choice with your Double Impacts. I'm very interested to see what you think of them. If you don't mind I'll invite myself over... | |

| Tekton Double Impacts Hi Greg, When I discuss the listening impressions of audio products and what is a mandatory requirement for me is the tone/timbre quality and "emotional" involvement/engagement /connectivity. You and your wife’s reaction to the Double Impact’s rep... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts Hi Sbayne,I assume that you were responding to jcarcopo’s comments, he did write "IMHO" so I personally don’t interpret his comments as an universal proclamation to be adhered to by the masses. I do however agree with your view of over generaliza... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts Hi Greg, Congratulations on getting the Double Impacts (DI) . It truly makes me happy when a fellow music lover expresses such newfound joy and sheer satisfaction. When you get down to the grass roots of it audio products are just a means or condu... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts Teajay, Thank you for your reply regarding the listening impressions of these three fine amplifiers. The Pass Labs XA series of amplifiers are upper tier solid state amplifiers and thus are a very creditable reference point. As you rightly obser... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts Hi Teajay,You are clearly happy with the Triode Labs 2A3 SET and the Aric KT 88 SEP amplifiers. How do your Pass Labs XA 60.8 mono blocks sound driving the Ulfberths compared to these two?Charles | |
| Tekton Double Impacts Hi Kenny,I'd be interested in hearing the Double Impact SE version due to my very favorable encounter with the "standard" DI (+300 dollar upgrade package) in Tom's system 2 weeks ago. With different cabinet, drivers and crossover components it d... |
