| Tekton Double Impacts Jetter,I would ignore the over the top hype marketing talk and just judge the DI purely on its sonic merits. Based on a very creditable reviewer and actual owner feedback , this is far more important. It's difficult to find a really good natural s... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts "Analytical/electrical device" Yep, I know where you're coming from. Many speakers that seem to aspire to an ultra detailed/uber resolution presentation fail to sound natural and realistic. For a 3000.00 USD speaker to get it right is quite an a... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts Mac,Given teajay's exceptionally high praise of these speakers and the fact that you have 2 very fine amplifiers you likely have more quality than you realize. Charles | |
| Tekton Double Impacts Teajay, I look forward to reading your review as I’ve come to appreciate your truthful non BS reports and impressions. Corelli, I agree with your decision to upgrade to better parts and wire as these aspects really do matter. Higher quality always... | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... Hi Butler,My introduction to upgrade fuses came via positive comments from fellow audiogon members Grannyring and Agear. I’ve had listening experiences with various components they both were impressed with and my impressions mirrored theirs. Four ... | |
| The best coupling caps in power amp ?? Mundorf, Infinicap ?? Rodman,It's interesting to note that when proponents of the VCap describe its character the word is neutral. Duelund CAST proponents descriptive word is natural. Both are meant to be complimentary yet they convey perceptive differences. Having us... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts As with all audio products the most important question/ criteria is how does it sound? Advertising, marketing and white papers are clearly secondary concerns. Listening determines the true quality and value of an audio product. If this Tekton sp... | |
| Synergistic Red Fuse ... Hi Frank,I ordered 2 Jo Stafford CDs from Amazon.com "Ballad Of The Blues " and "Jo +Jazz" which features an 8 piece band (members of Duke Ellington’s band). I also ordered Al Hibbler "Unchained Melody " (thanks Al). Can’t wait to listen to them.C... | |
| The best coupling caps in power amp ?? Mundorf, Infinicap ?? Hi Bigkidz, Impossible to predict if you'll prefer the Duelund CAST vs VCAP, too many variables involved. I do have a favorable bias toward the Copper CAST, I just find them sublime "in my system ": 😊Charles | |
| Tekton Double Impacts Mac,Good point, if this speaker has a challenging impedance characteristics then the Frankenstein wouldn’t be the best amplifier choice. The Linear Tube Audio amplifiers seems a more suitable option. If 48025 is your zip code you can’t be far from... | |
| How old is too old for a Dac? Jond,I'm not surprised that the Audio Note is impressing you, it has been highly praised for many years. Excellent design and implementation withstand the test of time. No doubt that using Duelund CAST as my output coupling capacitors improved ... | |
| The best coupling caps in power amp ?? Mundorf, Infinicap ?? I can’t disagree with salectric’s point, it boils down to personal preferences and that will never change. I haven’t used the V Cap copper but have experience with their Teflon tin foil and OIMP capacitors. We all simply hear what we hear. I coul... | |
| How old is too old for a Dac? H I Jond,What differences are you hearing via further listening to the Audio Note and the Yamamoto DACs? I'm assuming this was a fun and informative comparison. Charles | |
| The best coupling caps in power amp ?? Mundorf, Infinicap ?? Two very experienced modifiers on this site Grannyring and salectric seen to prefer the Jupiter copper foil compared with the Mundorfs. Charles | |
| The best coupling caps in power amp ?? Mundorf, Infinicap ?? I placed Jupiter copper foil caps in my 300b SET (replacing the stock Solens) and it's a worthwhile upgrade. I went with them rather than the Duelund CAST due to the lower cost and enthusiastic recommendations. The Duelund CAST is superb in my DA... |
