| Tekton Double Impacts Hi Mikirob, I always have appreciated your listening impressions and insight. It seems we listen to music in the same manner and with very similar priorities. I'm not at all surprised that the Dynamo responds so noticeably to tube rolling. The ver... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts Hello Ipretiring,Thank you for your kind comments. I understand your dilemma, budget, value and high sound quality being the variables. I’m a big believer/advocate for opting for good output transformers (OPT) as they’re so vital a factor toward h... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts Hi Ipretiring,Is there a particular SET amplifier you have in mind? I haven’t heard the Dynamo MK II but sources I trust say that it is a "very" good sounding amplifier. It uses the el 34 output tube in a SEP (SINGLE ENDED PENTODE) as opposed to a... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts Corelli, Yes the talent and skill of the speaker designer/builder is the most impactful variable. No question though that the quality of parts are a major factor. This is why the Double Impact SE is intriguing. Same design with higher grade Scansp... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts Bill (Grannyring),You made many excellent points and the truth is that there is no universal "best" audio component, rather there's "best" for an individual in specific circumstances. I don't believe that teajay was declaring an all knowing proc... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts As someone who doesn't own the Double Impacts I have posted numerous times here. I find this speaker rather fascinating for its reported sound quality, efficiency and flexibility at such an obtainable price for most people. I'd like to hear the Ma... | |
| Synergestic Black Fuse vs Audio Magic BeesWax I must agree with ebm, fuses as are other audio accessories/components system dependent in terms of results. In my system the Synergistic Research Black fuses have contributed to a very natural sound character. Definitely no issues with brightnes... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts Hi Teajay, What you’ve written on the distinct sonic differences between good quality SS and good quality SET is virtually a mirror image of my amplifier progression and accumulative listening experiences. Musical flow, liquidity, tone, timbre, ov... | |
| Coherent Speakers from Canada Rwanda, Thanks for the reply. The Audio Aero Capitole has universal praise for very natural high caliber sound quality. Charles | |
| Tekton Double Impacts Hi Terry, Yes I eagerly await your Ulfberths review and direct comparison with the Double Impacts. I'm very curious to learn if the Ulfberths are just more hifi spectacular or are they genuinely superior in the more important realm of music repro... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts Hi Willgolf, Now that is one interesting comparison. A 2 way monitor vs the large floor standing full range 3 way Double Impacts. This will be a fun direct comparison to read about. Should be very insightful as the design parameters are so differ... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts Kenny,I’m impressed with the various amplifiers you’ve heard with the Double Impacts. I suspect that your First Watt S.I.T. is quite a special SS amplifier either as stereo chassis or mono blocks (S.I.T.1). No doubt that you are having much fun 😊C... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts It seems that fetguy is just stirring it up a bit to have some fun. I can tell though that those types of comments are what I encountered when I decided to venture into the world of SET amplification. Yep, we’ll meaning yet condescending in nature... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts Hi Jonathan, We may be brothers from another mother as the saying goes 😊I can definitely relate to your comments and amplifier progression/experience. Charles | |
| Coherent Speakers from Canada Hi rwanda, You wrote that you listen to digital 50% of the time. What is your digital source? I look forward to further listening impressions of these very interesting speakers. Charles |
