| Tekton Double Impacts Corelli,I believe that you, Mac and others will likely settle down for the long term once you all square things up based around the DI. When you achieve the sound/music reproduction you really desire you’ll lose the urge to constantly want to chan... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts Mac,My music listening is probably 80 to 85% acoustic jazz with bands/combos of various sizes so we have similar taste. Teajay has these preferences as well so his comments carry considerable weight and I relate to them. It just seems that based o... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts Mac,I understand your situation, you have numerous amplifier choices and all are good! I'm curious to hear the MZ2 with the Frankenstein. I've reached a point where I believe all the amplifiers mentioned the past few days in this thread would be t... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts David,Considering the functionality you need, I believe the Backert would suit you fine. Reviews and owner feedback comments suggest it is really quite fine sounding yet offers flexibility. . It may be hard to beat when all factors are considered... | |
| Vac 200 IQ vs Ayon orthosII Hi orthomead,What speakers were in use with this audition? This can make a significant difference (some speakers are designed for solid state amplifier use). I hope you are able to hear the Ayon amplifier. I'm glad you made the effort to travel t... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts Teajay,It's fair to say that we are both passionate listeners of "straight ahead" acoustic jazz (both live venue and recordings). Would it be accurate to say you're enjoying this current system more than your previous reference system (Pass Labs a... | |
| Pass Labs Jim I agree it's up to us the consumer to determine individual comfort/budget levels. Too expensive for one is a screaming bargain for another. Know thy self.Charles | |
| Tekton Double Impacts Teajay,I'm not at all surprised that removing an average quality volume control out of the signal path made such a difference. Lesser volume control quality is a known bottleneck in many components .It's inspiring to know you're enjoying such hig... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts Teajay,This is why I never refer to any audio product as being the "best". There are too many situational variables and listener preference issues involved. One of the strengths of the Coincident Statement (CSL) is tone and timbre honesty and emot... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts David,I suspect that the remote version is excellent and probably just a trace less transparent than the non remote version, however Israel is a perfectionist and that "trace" would bother him. Backert Labs and of course the LTA ZOTL preamp are bo... | |
| Pass Labs + 1 Teo. The behavior and buying patterns of many in High End audio support/confirm your observation. It seems in some circles if an audio product is very affordable yet said to sound excellent it will be viewed warily by some merely because it is... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts Hello David, I was one of the first buyers of the Coincident Statement Line Stage when it was introduced in 2009. It was fantastic from day 1 and my admiration has only grown over the years of ownership. Keep in mind that it is a minimalist design... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts Corelli,Check out the Steve Hoffman.com site. There's a 9 page thread about the LM 508ia and includes comparisons to the 219 ia and the 518ia from owners.Charles | |
| Tekton Double Impacts Walter,I’m not surprised by one word you’ve written. I can’t imagine why the DI and your LM 508ia wouldn’t be a superb pairing. no reason at all. Out of the shipping box today and sounding that good already.Charles | |
| Tekton Double Impacts There was a discussion/thread concerning the LM 508ia on Audio shark.com not too long ago.Charles |
