| Tekton Double Impacts Hello David,I’m in complete agreement with you concerning the immense complexity of the auditory-brain pathway and it’s associated anatomy, physiology and processing mechanisms. For certain there’s much scholarly effort and research into this topi... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts I currently have a borrowed First Watt S.I.T push pull version by Mr. Pass himself for the D,I,Y, community which he loves. Pure class A and 40 watts, this is quite a good sounding amplifier with exceptional tone/timbre. Yet in direct comparison w... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts Hi David, I freely acknowledge that tone and timbre are subjective evaluations. There’s no way to measure this parameter. I personally rely on my pretty frequent exposure to live acoustic music heard in venues that don’t use microphones on the per... | |
| My jazz collection told me to get a *real* system Hi Jazz,I believe that referral to Tone Of Music Audio is a very good idea. They certainly carriy a high quality selection of tube and solid state electronics. If they are good dealers you should have an opportunity to hear and be exposed to some ... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts David,I described both the Line Magnetic and the Pass Labs as being regarded as excellent amplifiers. Some speakers by design are meant to be used with amplifiers with low output impedance and consequently higher damping factor for sufficient woof... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts Joe (Snopto),I'm certain that participants on this thread will appreciate your always thorough commentary as you describe your 2 power amplifier's sonic characteristics driving the Horning Eufrodite speakers. Regarding the Line Stages I am look... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts Hi Muzikmann, I will do that. Charles | |
| My jazz collection told me to get a *real* system I don't encourage the use of tube components for the purpose of "euphonic sound". My rationale is based on their capability to provide natural tone and timbre as well as the ability to connect emotionally the expression and beauty of the music. N... | |
| Tekton Double Impact & Comb Filtering Hi Rob,I do appreciate your very kind comments. Charles | |
| Tekton Double Impacts Hi David,What I meant in regard to comparing the Line Magnetic SET and the Pass Labs is the contrast between very different topologies and design. 1 DHT tube versus bipolar transistors. 2 No NFB vs some NFB3 moderately high output impedance vs low... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts Hi Joe (Snopro),As others have said your comments and opinions are most welcome and appreciated on this thread. You and I have shared dialogue on this forum for a number of years and I’ve the "upmost" regard for your always insightful contribution... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts James,Yep, that’s the hallmark of a good quality speaker. The sound quality of the Double Impact is dependent on what's placed up steam in the signal pathway. This is why I find the negative and dismissive comments regarding this speaker unwarr... | |
| My jazz collection told me to get a *real* system Jazztherapist, Inna offers some good suggestions. The speakers are important "but" so is every other part of the audio signal chain, thus the weakest link (in the chain) analogy applies. In my opinion the Epos M5 are not the weak link in your syst... | |
| My jazz collection told me to get a *real* system Yes that makes sense, get it right/very good initially and then be happy long term. I wouldn’t try to talk you into tubes if you’re uncomfortable with them. It is just that we have similar taste in music and this genre just comes alive and breathe... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts Brotw, The Pass Labs XA 30.8 and the LM 508ia would be a compelling comparison. Both are considered to be excellent yet presumably with distinctly different presentations. Charles |
