| Tekton Electron has been released Kenny,The Tekton DI replacing the Zu DEF IV in your main audio system is noteworthy. The DEF IV has received much praise on Audiogon as well as other forums and is said to be an exceptionally good speaker. Charles | |
| Best Class A Amp under $2,000 used? Agree, you’ll find class A/B with perhaps high bias design in this price range. Pure and exclusively class A high wattage for 2K dollars? Not very likely. Charles | |
| VAC 30/70...pick your pre? Walter, Excellent logic in deciding to get the speaker upgrade package. There's no doubt in my mind that better quality wire, inductors and capacitors can make a very noticeable improvement in the sound. You might as well get it right initially... | |
| VAC 30/70...pick your pre? Phaun16, Generally speaking the 8 ohm speaker load impedance would ideally suit SET and tube amplifiers compared with the 4 ohm version. However there are exceptions to most axioms. Owners have reported much success with the LM 219ia and 508ia w... | |
| Amps Atma-Sphere M-60 Mono blocks OTL design Yep, Ozzy you went from an easy load to an exceptionally easy load. 😊Charles | |
| VAC 30/70...pick your pre? Walter,You have an excellent plan mapped out 😊. I find this discussion very significant given the implications of genuinely affordable (but not cheap) products that yield true upper tier sound quality. The Tekton DI has been very favorably compare... | |
| VAC 30/70...pick your pre? Hi Walter, That sounds like a potentially stellar amplifier and speaker match. I look forward to reading your subsequent listening impressions. This is an interesting development given that you currently own the highly regarded Daedalus Ulysses s... | |

| Tekton Impact Powerglide, Thanks very much for your reply. Charles | |

| VAC 30/70...pick your pre? John, To be clear I don't believe that an amplifier is " the key" for an audio system's success. Actually all aspects are of importance due to the fact that the "weakest link" of a system is the limiting factor. Balance of a system is no less a f... | |
| Synergestic Research: SCAM I've noticed often that when someone says that they hear no differences in sound they invariably make the assumption that listeners who "do" hear differences are some how suckers, foolish or gullible. This is a faulty conclusion. It's definitely ... | |
| VAC 30/70...pick your pre? As this discussion demonstrates! There are numerous approaches to improving one's audio system,. Spread the wealth certainty has merit. I probably feel more strongly about the impact of amplification than some others here. If you obtain a very ... | |
| Tekton Impact Hi power glide, Just to be clear, the 1 watt of power is sufficient for all of your listening needs? Are you using the stock or upgraded 6SN7 tubes?Thanks, Charles | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... Hi Jond, Our tastes are pretty similar so I thought you'd appreciate Doug Raney. His dad Jimmy Raney was also a very fine jazz guitarist. I'll say it again, there is so much beautiful music for us to enjoy, what a gift. Charles |
