| Tekton Double Impacts That's how I'm kind of seeing it Tom. Black over blah. Kind of like a black hole. After all, these are absorbers. My diffusers are white. Makes sense, right?Glad the new pre afforded the synergy you were looking for. That's cucial as we all ... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts Tom,Glad to hear you are enjoying your new gear. Do they have a pic of your new pre on Aric's site? Do you plan on holding on to your LTA preamp?I agree with you, it's nice to have more than one amp to roll in and out. For large scale works, I ... | |
| Picking a Tube integrated amp I'll toss in another vote for PrimaLuna. I have the Dialogue HP. A very solid and well engineered amp. I have all the stock tubes and am very happy with the sound. Really like the ability to switch from triode to ultralinear. UL sounds more s... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts Bill, you can't just say you've got a new Tekton project! Would love to hear some details. | |
| Tekton Double Impacts Tom,What are you hoping your new preamp will deliver in contrast to your microZOTL?Nice tube weather isn't it? Consider your new SE's as cryo treated! | |
| Tekton Double Impacts Here's what I don't understand. With a roller block system, I envision that when the woofers are in action, there is an opposite reaction that results in the cabinet moving in the horizontal plane in the opposite direction. And then I ask, wouldn... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts brotw, nice post on controlling cabinet resonance--takes some of the mystery out of how these devices work. As many of these devices are rather expensive, does anyone have any thoughts on the more cost effective products out there or any DIY prod... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts captmobley,Suggest you hold on to your K-horns and just order up the DI's. You'll never know if it's for you until heard with your equipment in YOUR room. Some will disagree, but for me an audition will take you just so far given the variables... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts Count me in on wishing all my friends here on this thread a Blessed Christmas. I've said more than once it's given me much pleasure to exchange different ideas on this thread and learn from each others experiences. Also it's been great getting to... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts captmobley,Not sure how much of this thread you have read but MANY have used amps similar to yours and have been thrilled by the pairing. Unless you listen to a significant amount of demanding large scale works (which I doubt given your amp prefe... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts Tom, do you understand the physics behind the footers you are using? Does this dissipate cabinet vibrations? I've traditionally been avoided less than solid interfaces to the floor. But it might make sense, especially on concrete, if they funct... | |
| Cured of upgraditis? schubert, you would be cured for two years. They take one year to break in! | |
| Tekton Double Impacts Agreed Charles. I've listened with a few tube watts to a couple hundred SS watts. The DI's have no "preference" for what drives them. There has been a huge variation in upstream equipment posted on this thread and most everyone has agreed th... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts Aric, thanks for the heads up on generator use! I will say when I used this it was the only thing powered by the generator and it was heavily filtered by a very effective spike suppressor (SurgeX unit). In any event, based on your expert advice,... | |
| Tekton Double Impacts Tom,I posted, on a separate thread, the exact thing you're asking. We had a power outage this past summer. I could see my 120 gallon aquarium was not going to do well (stocked with fancy goldfish from Dandy Orandas--right in your neck of the woo... |
