| Tekton Double Impacts Hi Bill,I really appreciate your very kind comments (I know you only write/say what you truly mean). I do believe that the Lyngdorf is as good as you describe. Although it may not seem like it given my admiration /affection for DHT tube based elec... | |
| Sonic qualities of SET output tubes? Inna,I wholeheartedly agree there are power amplifiers with sublime sound quality that utilize the output transformer. I do sincerely appreciate the high quality of the Atma-Sphere, Berning designs. There are however other extremely talented am... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts Hi Bill, Your response posted before mine by mere moments, same thought pattern however 😊Charles | |
| Tekton Double Impacts Vitop, The Lyngdorf model used by Bill is essentially a DAC, preamplifier and power amplifier. Assuming that it in fact sounds as good as he says then it’s a tremendous value proposition. If it outperformed his previous system of Luxman DAC,TRL DU... | |

| Tekton Double Impact & Comb Filtering There is as I understand a Double Impact "SE" version that uses all Scanspeak drivers in place of the standard drivers. This model is 6000.00 dollars so presumably the Scanspeak drivers are much more expensive. Charles | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD Al,+ 1 in regard to the value of the Stereophile measurements as a very effective "initial screening step and assisting in narrowing the field of potential audio candidates. My only observation was the measurements just don't correlate well with ... | |
| Tekton Double Impact & Comb Filtering Hi schw06, Your kind comments are appreciated. I'd add kdude66 (kenny) to your list. He's a very competent modifier of audio equipment and has much experience with a wide assortment of top notch amplifiers and speakers. He knows his stuff 😊Charles | |
| Sonic qualities of SET output tubes? Bill, Okay I see. Yes I know the Sound Labs speakers. Your Crescendos are a very different scenario. Charles | |
| Sonic qualities of SET output tubes? Hi Bill,I’d truly be honored to be a beta tester for this "unique " 300b-digital (all in one audio product). This sounds unusually interesting . Bill I thought you had tried the Zero transformers in the past and had mixed results. If I’m mistaken ... | |
| Sonic qualities of SET output tubes? Bill, Would their 60 watt output satisfy you given what you described as the demands (89 db and 6 ohm impedance load) of the Crescendos?Charles | |
| Sonic qualities of SET output tubes? Hi Bill,I'm very familiar with the Atma-Sphere MA-1 mono blocks, are you considering these or the M-60s with your Crescendos?Charles | |
| Sonic qualities of SET output tubes? Hi Swampwalker, Nice comments, I also suggested the VAC Renaissance 30/30 or a high quality moderate power class A push pull tube amplifier. As you note they do offer increased speaker choice flexibility and are easier to build a system around for... | |
| Absolute top tier DAC for standard res Redbook CD Audio products that sound terrific per the Stereophile viewers and yet measure poorly per JA. This dilemma has been noted by quite a few observers over the years. Charles | |
| Sonic qualities of SET output tubes? The irony is that the vast majority of high End speakers are in the 4 ohm range. This suggests that either, 1 4 ohm load impedance speakers are easier to design/build.2 An assumption that the majority of buyers plan to use solid state amplificat... |
