| Tekton Double Impacts Good to hear from old friends on this thread. I would agree with all that has been said. @2spyop, you won't go wrong with the DI, DI SE. The Moabs will exceed budget by $500. Wish I had the ability to tell you I have heard them side by side. I... | |
| Kudos to Outlaw Audio support In this day and age of too often miserable customer support this is great to hear. Another reason to consider their products. Nice to hear of a good experience! | |
| Are CD players goig the way of the 8 track,and the cassette? No. | |
| Upgrade to Maggi 3.7i or Tekton Moab? I recall fond memories when as a youngster I forked out $500 for a pair of Magnepan MG-1's. They were unlike anything I heard before. Drove them with Hafler electronics I built from kits. I upgraded the crossover--get this--with mylar caps! Ma... | |
| Albert Von Schweikert Has Passed Away Sad news. In my limited experience I found Albert to be a true gentleman who was more than happy to spend time talking with someone even when they did not have the big bucks for his high end offerings. In my case, it was his VR-33's, a speaker I ... | |
| Cleaning tube pins I would caution against using a wire brush. This will leave all kinds of micro-abrasions that will permanently damage the surface. I agree with your concern that some products may do more harm than good. Hard to go wrong with a foam or cotton s... | |
| Ported versus sealed speakers: is one type better? Several important points have been made. I'll add just a couple more.--back in the day when BR designs were poorly tuned, they were touted to "more efficient" because of a peak that was tuned too high. So you gained more "boom" and "efficiency" i... | |
| What Percentage Off Would You Expect to Discount For Open Box Amp with Blemish This is a very poor question. We do not know the blem or what the product is. Ask a poor question and get a poor answer. | |
| Anyone else impressed with modern Marantz integrated? Years ago had a PM 8005 in a second system. It thought it's SQ was very impressive and preferred it over a well regarded power amp outputting 200wpc and driving Magneplaner 1.7's no less. | |
| Buyer's request. If Sellers could list photos of units on with lights. Normally I would have dismissed this post. But guess what I have spent the week doing. Trying to diagnose a nonfunctional LED on a 10/10 integrated bought on this site! Photo or not, the seller ought to have noted that. Shame on him. But yes,... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts @zenbikefish If you are maxed out at 4k, you would be limited to the DI's with Be tweeter--right? At least if buying new. I find the Tektons to be neutral speakers that emphasize no part of the spectrum. As another option you could do the SE... | |
| Is room treatment a science? As stated above, GIK can be a good resource if you need a consult and product. If you have an idea on what you need, Audiomute is another good and affordable product line. If cost is an issue, most all of this can be a DIY project. Don't over d... | |
| Ferrule with banana connector I think a pure copper/gold plated ferrule is perfectly fine if not preferable to screwing the wire directly. Thinner wires tend to be damaged/sheared off by the turning of a set screw. The ferrules keeps all the wires tidy, undamaged, in close p... | |
| What is the average dealer mark up? I agree with your comments on Tekton. But did you ever feel guilty paying your friend just 5% above cost? Must have been a really good friend. | |
| Beware of Wayne's audio - Poor product quality & worst business ethics I tell all buyers the burden is on them to secure the goods. If I have a photo of the goods on their doorstep and they were to lazy to take it in--that's their problem.Wayne sounds like a piece of work. How did you pay for this? Did you check h... |
